Jason is a graduate of Ball State University with a B.F.A. in sculpture. He is from Columbus, Indiana, but calls Muncie home having lived here the past five years. Working on his large scale sculptures created a space problem after graduation so Jason looked to two dimensional work as a means of artistic expression and exploration. Painting was much more compatible with the size of his studio and has opened up new avenues for him to venture down. His current work examines the ideas of insanity leading to death and the afterlife. Large masonite panels explode with layers of color that have been brushed, dabbed and drizzled to express emotion.
An opening reception to meet the artist is free and open to the public from 5-8 pm, Thursday February 7, 2008.
The upstairs gallery at The Artist Within will feature the work of four Ball State University students, Paul Grant, Marc Girouard, Andrew Nicholson and Brie Thompson, from Feb. 5-29th. An opening reception will be held Thursday, February 7, from 5-8 pm.
These printmakers will exhibit limited edition prints created in a variety of mediums. Paul Grant, Marc Girouard, Andrew Nicholson and Brie Thompson will have an exhibit of woodcuts, intaglios and lithographs. Handmade books will also be included in their exhibit.
All four of these artists are Indiana natives and have exhibited throughout the state in various shows. Local exhibits include work in shows at Art Works, Gordy's Fine Art and Framing, Doc's, Minnetrista and the Student Gallery at Ball State.
