As an interdisciplinary artist whose focus is on exploring the associative properties of materials, Jason Willome has developed a diverse body of work deeply rooted in exploring the boundaries of painting and drawing, and operating in the tension between illusionistic denial and surface assertion. His most recent works, depicting disasters and debris, challenge conventional representations and transform the painterly space into a fantasy that reflects the softened reality of the present moment. <\/p>\n
Jason’s recent projects deal with the nature of the self and seek to explore philosophical interpretations of human consciousness and our connection to the universe. These paintings explore the liminal space between the spiritual and the physical, drawing inspiration from childhood explorations, philosophical interpretations of human consciousness and the metaphorical implications of trepanation and astronomy. This new work seeks to explore the nature of humanity’s ongoing quest for transcendence, whether by delving into inner realms or looking outward into the boundless cosmos in search of connection and understanding. <\/p>\n
Jason was born in rural Texas and earned an MFA from the University of Colorado Boulder. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and works as an instructor at the University of Texas School of Art in San Antonio. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-44990","kb_artist","type-kb_artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":44987,"article_image_bu_de":"Complicated Minerals II (Diagram of the Big Bang), Detail","article_image_bu_en":"Complicated Minerals II (Diagram of the Big Bang), Detail","datum_suche":"2024-07-15 00:00:00"},"yoast_head":"\n
