Painter Jason Anderson started his art career working in stained glass, and that’s immediately and clearly apparent in his paintings. He says his work in stained glass taught him to look at art as a jigsaw of shapes and colors.

“Jason’s use of colour combined with his bold application creates a compelling composition of large sweeping impasto strokes that blend seamlessly into areas of smooth vibrant colour. His work is mainly influenced by the contrast and drama of W. H. Turner and the jewel-like qualities of Gustav Klimt.”

– About Jason Anderson

Anderson’s gorgeous impasto canvases reduce his subjects – usually landscapes – into blocks of rich color, and I love them every bit up close as I do from afar. And his time-lapse videos of his pieces from conception through completion are just fascinating!
