Piece description from the artist
This painting is based on the unique formations of the Paint mines in Eastern Colorado. It's a largely open space among the great plains that has this sudden unique formation in it.
I am also very interested in some unique element that interrupts my scenes. Something that seems to sit outside of the space in a different realm. In this piece, it is the inclusion of shards of glass that seem to sit on the surface of the work. They are more a part of our space than the space of the work. They reach into our world and act as a bridge. They point to something separate yet not far from the space in the painting.
J. M. Jensen is a native Colorado gallery artist, illustrator and instructor.
He received a Bachelor’s in illustration at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and a Master’s in Painting at Colorado State University.
J. M. Jensen’s currently gallery work combines a variety of styles in a surreal way. His current work is exploring a new technique of aggressive scratching and scraping and building layers in combination with highly detailed, realistic elements. The work is meant to be an exploration of the different natures of matter and spirit as well as the contrasts that can be found throughout nature such as in the idea of Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine, grace and nature. J.M. Jensen is inspired by all things that remind him of the strangeness, mystery and beauty of the world.
He shows regularly in Colorado and has exhibited throughout the west. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Foundations and Fine Art at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.
