STATEMENT
My art explores the complexities of modern life and the sense of disconnection that characterizes our experiences. Through muted color palettes and contemplative compositions, I invite viewers to reflect on the fragile and fleeting nature of our relationships with each other and the world.
Biography
Jason is a classically trained painter. In 2016 he opened an atelier in Lewes where he works on personal projects and commissions. He regularly paints portrait commissions and his paintings are held in private collections throughout Europe. Through his atelier he offers a high quality art education for aspiring professional artists, teaching ideas and methods that have their origins in the leading ateliers of 19th-century Paris. His personal work explores traditional themes through a contemporary lense. Large works are painted over multiple sessions employing a limited palette of muted colours and historic painting techniques, oils and mediums. They are often made from direct observation from nature under natural light, but go past a purely visual representation.
