Biography
Jason Lucas was born and raised in the vast and open surroundings of southeast Alaska. As a child he was engulfed in rich masses of color, texture and overwhelming landscapes. The tranquil nature of Alaska influenced his adventures in the Arts. The balance, calm and quiet of Alaska directs the vision of his art as an adult.
While viewing Jason's work one continues to rediscover it through the subtle layers, textures and washes inspired from a place of calm. It is not intended to display a specific message or statement as much as simply demand an enjoyable atmosphere through simple lines, shapes and colors; a place of Zen - easily understood and elementary from a distance, but continually rediscovered and invented when more closely examined.
Based in Denver, Colorado, Jason continues to create award-winning and nationally published interior installs and fine art pieces for Deshu and Lucas Fine Art.
Artist Statement
My art is abstract and non-representational. The goal of my paintings is to replicate the two experiences that I find in any organic object. The first is the foreground: easily identified forms and color fields that create a simply deciphered image from a distance. The second is the background: a complex endless exploration of layers, texture, sheen and color.
