Jason Lucas Artist Statement
My art is an account of my reflection on emotions surrounding people and incidents in my life. Colors, texture, contrast and movement represent moods and disposition. I sometimes involve distinct shapes in my work with lines and circles. These forms represent people and depict specific human interactions between them. My objective as an artist is to develop techniques using the same materials, tools and routine every-time. Then by introducing the human element, the result becomes infinite.
