About the Item

Jon Wassom’s "The Space Between" is a striking mixed media painting on panel, measuring 16 x 12 inches. This evocative figurative work merges expressive brushwork with geometric abstraction, creating a visually layered composition. The subject, a contemplative male figure with a downward gaze, is rendered with a fusion of realism and abstraction. The interplay of warm earth tones with vibrant blues and reds adds depth and emotional resonance, while the textured surface invites closer examination. Wassom’s technique blends painterly gestures with intricate linework and geometric motifs, seamlessly integrating organic and structured elements. His distinctive use of mixed media lends a tactile, dimensional quality to the piece, enhancing its dynamic presence. This original artwork is finished with a protective varnish and is signed by the artist in the lower right corner. The edges are painted, allowing for a frameless display if desired. *The Space Between* is a compelling addition to any contemporary figurative art collection. 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.
