Jason Sacran

Jason Sacran

“I am a contemporary representational painter, working primarily outdoors. I paint what catches my interest in the moment. This could be almost anything; an orchestration of shapes, color contrast, light and shadow patterns, a mood or atmosphere, a subject I have never tried, or a subject I enjoy, etc. I am drawn to paint places and things that say something about the day and time I live in now. Although my work is not necessarily subject driven, I find myself painting the overlooked and simultaneously familiar aspects of everyday life – scenes we pass by but rarely take the time to fully consider. In the chaos of daily life, I believe we all take the simple and familiar for granted. Sometimes it is these quiet unadorned places that make the most worthy subjects.”

“As a representational painter, the pillars of nature, perception and art history are my catalysts. Unlike many of my kind, I am drawn first to the formal aspects of what is observed; characteristics like the shape of a shadow, the colors of a form, or the wonder of visibility itself. By this I’m driven to deeper observation so that, as George Inness urged, I ‘see, and not think I see.’

It’s wonderful to spend a portion of my time giving back, and I hope to continue inspiring through writing and teaching; and more importantly, through a life dedicated to artistry.”
