Artoble Podcast: Col Jordan, To Op with Thanks, Mossenson Galleries, Subiaco

Lyn DiCiero speaks with Sydney-based artist Col Jordan, exhibiting To Op with Thanks at Mossenson Galleries in Subiaco until 28 June, 2025.

Six decades after Op Art transformed his practice irrevocably, he continues to explore its impact.
