My friend Gigi Chen is showing her new body of work for the 1st time. I’ve watched these paintings develop from start to finish over the past six months and it was fantastic to see and be exposed to her creative process over such a long period of time.
TONIGHT! Come see Gigi’s amazing new painting in a 2-person show with H. Veng Smith.

FANTASTIC! I was interviewed for the latest episode of the Craft Stash podcast and it was posted online late last night. When Kim visited the print shop I was in the process of printing my latest acrylic screen print and she caught me right smack in the middle, color #8 of 15. In the video I discuss a little bit about screen preparation and I give a way one small trick-of-the-trade.
This is amazing! Thank you Kim for coming to the print shop to take part in Late Night Art Night.

2012 Jason A. Maas creates drawings that find the core expression in human body language by carefully removing contextual information and leaving a structure that both illuminates and challenges the content of an image. Negative spaces provide focus, silence, and an openness to allow the viewer to finish the drawing. The new body of work confronts the current understanding of how we view journalistic images of social unrest that proliferate the media, from professional photographs to low resolution cell phone photos.
