RESUME - TIM JAG

Artist's Statement:

For me, the act of painting is a process of how the grid (industrial culture) defines itself from the natural world: an inclusive act that brings in cultural media and ephemera from that culture. Having an affinity for industrial design and pop culture, I find visual resources as random as the hardware store, the toy store, the produce department at a supermarket, dated textiles and papers, beat-up billboards, highway signs and symbols or the design of a magazine ad.With this in mind, I want my paintings to reflect the way culture organizes and builds upon itself?specifically the way architecture and infrustructural design separates us from the organic world. As such, symmetrical organizing has become a central issue in the painting process.
