About Jason Cheeseman-Meyer

Jason Cheeseman-Meyer mixes the tactile and illusionistic natures of paint to capture motion and depict human existence.  When we look at matter, life, meaning, or art from a broader perspective, we find nothing is written upon a blank canvas.  Multiple streams of chaos collide to form each atom, each person, each thought, and each honest expression of art. 

Information is not simply transcribed from the mind to a blank surface.  A painting is a series of collisions: between the subject, the act and moment of painting, the skills and temperament of the artist, and the artist's knowledge (both visual and non-visual) of the subject and of physical existence as a whole.

Representational painting is one of humankind's first inventions: predating agriculture, predating the wheel.  Paint is an ideal tool for laying open the fantastic elements of human experience, lived and dreamed.
