ARTIST STATEMENT

”In art lies the chance to bring faith, hope and meaning into our world without following traditional religious approaches. Art always brings people into a current relationship with being. It is a source of inspiration for looking inwards - for contemplating and reflecting on one's own views and experiences. Art enlivens and enriches without demanding.”

ABOUT

Jason Engelbart is a contemporary artist whose digital abstract works, so-called ‘neo-paintings’, make use of a compelling and distinctive aesthetic. The colorful marbling effects and a simultaneous all-encompassing blur are created in a purely intuitive creative process, where the artist deals with reflections of his personal feelings, experiences, and a meditative affinity with the universe. Engelbart taps into an artistic mode in which he uses his artistic capacity to trigger in others a deeper reflection on the nature of our daily coexistence. Colors and forms swirl together with an apparent motion, coinciding yet never lost, blended yet simultaneously holding shape. The movement in Engelbart's works takes the viewer with him and mirrors his own experience - and thereby makes him aware of the present moment.

Through color and form alone, Engelbart invites us to consider the spaces of our lives that we are able to perceive at a subtle level, but that which we often forgo or ignore in our day to day. The artworks of Engelbart are a testament to a cultivation of wholesome, human qualities, for positive change and development, which he states as his principle artistic vision. 

The source of Engelbart’s group of works THE JOY OF BEING can be found in the opulent works of baroque painting from Giovanni Battista Tiepolo to Guido Reni and Johannes Zick. He is particularly fascinated by the playful use of light and color, the flowing forms and the extraordinary opulent aura of these baroque works. On an emotional level, Engelbart is particularly affected by the religious and mythological scenes in the ceiling and wall paintings of this artistic epoch.

Jason Engelbart lives and works in Hamburg, Germany. His works have been shown in numerous national and international exhibitions, such as Amory Art Weeks New York, Art Basel Miami, Swiss Art Expo Zurich and more.

ARTISTIC TECHNIQUE AND MATERIALS

Neopaintings – This designation for Jason Engelbart’s works stands for the topicality of his work in our digital age and is also his artistic program. Because since 2010 he works and experiments with the diverse digital tools of the computer. But despite their purely technical origins, Engelbart’s work does not appear to be overcooled technologically, but rather looks like artfully executed, extremely sensitive color compositions. This is the special magic of his so-called neopaintings. The transfer of the initially immaterial image to the material manifestation is done in the printing process on high-quality photographic material with subsequent framing on Alu-Dibond and final high-gloss sealing. The interplay of unconventional working methods and contemporary materials ensures the uniqueness in Jason Engelbart’s work. Each of his artworks is strictly limited to one original, personally signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
