About the Item

Jon Wassom's Two Worlds Apart is a striking 2024 mixed media painting on panel that explores duality and self-reflection through dynamic abstraction and expressive color. Measuring 16 x 16 inches with a 1.5-inch depth, this original artwork presents two figures in profile, their faces turned away from each other, symbolizing emotional contrast and interconnectedness. Wassom's layering of paint, textural depth, and rich, vivid hues create a compelling visual dialogue between identity, imperfection, and self-discovery. Through a masterful blend of bold brushstrokes, geometric fragmentation, and translucent layering, Wassom conveys a sense of movement and psychological complexity. The textured application and interplay of warm and cool tones lend an atmospheric depth that enhances the artwork’s emotive resonance. This piece is signed by the artist and presented on a gallery-wrapped panel, eliminating the need for additional framing while ensuring a contemporary, polished display. Two Worlds Apart is a powerful statement piece for collectors drawn to figurative abstraction and introspective themes. 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.
