About the Item

Jon Wassom’s Soul Searching (2024) is a striking mixed-media painting on canvas, measuring 24 x 20 inches with a 1.5-inch depth. This original artwork captivates with its expressive use of color and texture, blending abstraction and figuration to convey emotional depth. The subject, a contemplative male figure, emerges through a dynamic interplay of bold brushstrokes, layered textures, and intricate patterns, creating a mesmerizing composition that feels both intimate and universal. Wassom’s mastery of mixed media shines through the intricate surface work, where vibrant hues of red, blue, and gold intermingle with abstract geometric forms and organic motifs. The painting's textural elements add a tactile quality, inviting closer inspection. The expressive facial features and the play of light and shadow enhance the emotive intensity of the piece. This one-of-a-kind artwork is gallery-wrapped and ready for display. It is signed by the artist and in excellent condition. A powerful addition to any contemporary collection, Soul Searching resonates with collectors drawn to figurative expressionism and dynamic color 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.
