Artist statements:
Jason Litts
Jason Litts is an autodidactic artist with an eye towards the surreal. The Pacific Northwest is a source of inspiration for most of his work. Litts’ piece in the current show is triptych entitled “Beyond the Grasp.”
The hard hat diver symbolizes an attempt to insulate against the environment. To explore areas where we feel vulnerable and exposed. These treacherous arenas are both external and internal.
The triptych is composed using glazing techniques of Prussian Blue, Cadmium Orange and Titanium White.
Allan Oliver
I connect water with health and happiness. An example of this consciousness is the way I repeat the words “love”, “grace”, “gratitude”, “acceptance” and “peace” during my swimming workout. Both in body and spirit, my experience with water is deep. Maybe it’s inevitable that I’d be drawn strongly to liquid acrylic art since physical interactions of water and paint make it possible.
After a fifty-year career in art and design, I’ve learned something new, energized by watery paint, applied and manipulated in many fascinating ways. By its nature, liquid acrylic art is abstract, but I plan and choose colors and composition to achieve significance and meaning. The combination of intention, discipline and magic keeps me working in the studio and helps maintain my sense of wonder and contact with God.
