About the Item
Jon Wassom’s "Here to Stay" is an evocative mixed media painting on panel, measuring 16 x 12 x 1.5 inches. This stunning composition captures an intimate embrace between two figures, rendered with dynamic textures, bold color contrasts, and expressive brushwork. Wassom masterfully blends abstraction with figuration, layering vibrant hues of blue, gold, and red to create a compelling depth of emotion and movement. The interplay of structured forms and organic strokes results in a visually rich and immersive experience.
This original artwork is meticulously crafted using mixed media techniques, emphasizing Wassom’s signature fusion of traditional and contemporary aesthetics. The painting is finished with a protective varnish, ensuring its longevity. It is presented on a 1.5-inch deep panel, allowing for a frameless, gallery-style display.
Jon Wassom’s work is widely recognized for its raw emotional intensity and intricate textural elements. This piece is a testament to his ability to evoke deep sentiment through expressive forms and rich, layered compositions.
Wassom’s background as a contemporary painter has shaped his refined approach to mixed media, resulting in a composition that masterfully merges elements of abstraction and realism. The Veil of Now emerges as both a study of the human visage and an exploration of color interplay, where each tonal shift contributes to a lively sense of depth and movement across the panel.
Its structure is stable, with all layers of media securely adhered. Signed by the artist, The Veil of Now offers collectors a genuine insight into Wassom’s evolving technique and thematic focus on the nuances of identity and personal expression. Presented unframed, this work can be easily adapted to suit a variety of display settings. Its scale, vivid palette, and distinctive mixed media application make it a noteworthy addition to any collection that values bold contemporary portraiture and original, handmade artwork.
Jon Wassom, a versatile contemporary artist born in 1984, seamlessly blends abstract realism into his artwork, with movement and music as the central themes. Often described as a "Renaissance Man," his diverse background spans from musical instruments and athletics like gymnastics and figure skating, to his true passion: painting. Discovering his love for art at 16, he achieved notable acclaim, including consecutive Master’s awards from the Springville, Utah Museum of Art. His education at Utah State University, coupled with mentorship from Yale graduate Woody Shepherd, shaped his expertise. With a career taking him from Washington D.C. and Baltimore to his current base in Salt Lake City, UT, Wassom's works reflect his rich history of athleticism and artistic vision, winning him accolades like the "Artist on the Rise" title from The Artist’s Magazine. A blend of movement, depth, and vibrant energy, his paintings are a testament to his journey, influenced by renowned artists from Rembrandt to Van Gogh.
