New York based artist, Jason Rohlf is known for his densely worked surfaces. His abstract, geometric paintings are very musical in their play with rhythmic patterns. His popular bird series exhibits a more serene side where collaged figures perch quietly on gnarly, exotic branches. The artist's surface work is distinguished in its enigmatic ability to give the allusion of time worn treasures. Elements of collage and drawing are embedded in layers of varnish, obscuring lines and shapes that whisper secrets of their past lives. Read what the PRESS says about Jason's work.
"Curious and reluctant are two of the many words I enjoy using to describe my work. They list underneath others like precarious, delicate, abashed, and recessive. These words have all been lent to the pieces over the years. I couldn't pinpoint where words like hesitant and looking outward overlap, but they do. It is my hope that this body of work continues to gather words that vary as much as the experiences gained in creating each painting." - Jason Rohlf
