Artist Statement

frendlymonkey — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:13:30 CDT

Nature is beauty, birth, life, death and ecstasy. Nature provides and destroys, provokes questions and provides answers. Nature inspires. The more I study the natural environment, the closer I move toward it, the more abstract it appears. A petal becomes a lush velvet blanket; a feather transforms into a riot of patterns, a leaf a fibrous other world.

And as I draw nearer still, the freer I have become to experiment with media. I have chosen to represent the many bodies of Florida's water. Rivers that run crystal clear, from a bubbling head of cold water; swamps that are so murky and filled with vegetation the water is nearly camouflaged; lakes that sit stagnant, the Gulf of Mexico, from above looking green, but up close is just a haze of salty brown.

PlexiGlas and acrylic paint are the medium I choose to work with to create these looks - all different from underneath, but on the surface, all the same. PlexiGlas gives me the ability to create a wet look as well as depth in the images that I create.

After realistic representation and mildly abstracted natural forms, my work tends to develop into an environment that emulates the inner workings, the mechanics, of whatever my subject might be -- be it water, air or a flower petal.

It is one thing to see nature. Quite another to explore it, experience it, so closely, so intimately. I have great respect for the natural world and what it has to offer me as a person and as an artist. I've spent much of my life exploring and learning about nature, and I'll likely spend the rest of my life doing the same -- and attempting to share my perspective and my passion with others.

Digital Paintings by Jayson Kaplan

Tools: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator

All painting is done digitally, therefore the "originals" exist in virtual space as high-resolution images. This allows for high-quality reproduction in varying sizes. Pieces are designed to print on canvas or watercolor paper in order to give the appearance of paint on canvas as opposed to ink on paper.

Please contact us for inquiries.
