"Art is a process, a simple statement that is lovingly complicated by the
search and rescue of idea and application. The "aha" moment of High
Concept travails the labyrinth of pencil sketch, digital manipulation
and eventual layout. The brightness and short drying time of acrylic
paint compliments the rapid transition of my thoughts to form.
Rather than dwell on the dark and disaffected aspects of common life I would rather dance in individual celebration of a senseless beauty inherently reflected to my discerning eye. Expressing the ephemeral quality of that perception can translate the subject as beautiful, aggressive, enduring or humorous with broad strokes or excruciating detail. In the process of painting I hope to engage the viewer on a more joyous level, to transform the universal struggle called living into something beautiful to experience and behold, and to translate my perspective as a universal one, an optimistic vision as empowering palliative to the toil and grind of everyday life." - Jake
