Piece description from the artist
This dual perspective work is based on my love of the river. I have kayaked this particular rapid many times and I wanted to show off the fluid nature with my painting approach. I also wanted to have a shift in perspective, from a front view with the river to a top-down view of the river rocks. I am interested in this shift of perspective and this juxtaposition of different approaches as an echo of the spiritual and psychological life.
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.
