JASON GLASSER |
||
WORKS | BIOGRAPHY | ||
Born 1968 Connecticut, USA, lives and works in New York and Paris Jason Glasser falls into that rare category of successfully creative split-personalities, since he is as committed to his practice as a rock musician as he is to that as a visual artist. Indeed, his attitude, preoccupations, imagery and media are unavoidably influenced by the fact that he was a rock star in his previous artistic life. While in recent years he has devoted enormous energy to his visual art practice, he retains a huge following from his days with the seminal band, Clem Snide, as witnessed by the success of his recent solo album, Beauty Is. It's difficult to know if Jason Glasser's world is the past, present or future of the world we know, and if it's grounded in science fiction, premonition or mythology. There are mammoths, lions, bears, cows, deer and birds. There are hunters with spears and hunters with guns, and a monkey on a bicycle being bombarded by warplanes. These characters can be found in various settings- landscapes, with mountains, lakes, roads, rivers and houses. There are also a number of "beings" that are more difficult to describe- often oval or round, and with faces or eyes, some smiling, some not. Artist's website: www.fruitkey.com |
