Jason Anderson
British artist Jason Anderson creates colorful abstract paintings composed of pixelated swatches of pastel-toned oil paint. Up-close, the artistβs paintings look like blocky layers of shapes and color; but, from afar, his scenesβfeaturing cityscapes, roads, trains, and marinasβare revealed.
Anderson began his career as a stained glass apprentice, where he worked on restoring the windows of cathedrals. He soon progressed onto designing the glass murals himself, where he learned how to break down subject matter into βjigsawsβ of colored sections. This approach still shines through in his paintings todayβcomplex scenes are brought to life with simple shapes and careful consideration to hue and tone.
