San
Francisco artist James Jarrett creates sophisticated color-field paintings,
with an unmistakable power and elegant style. Using a minimalist palette that
ranges from deep primaries to white-on-white, Jarrett subtly explores the
relationship between space and object. On the surface of his large canvases,
multiple layers of colored glazes drip and wash against sensation of floating
gently through a conceptual landscape. Jarrett ultimately seeks to create,
in his own words, "a minimal filed of color representing the power of light
with overlaid geometric forms representing spiritual elements."

I
am fascinated with color and it is always my aim to extract the essence of a
color and isolate the color for the sake of experience and for me - celebration.
To begin a painting I need to have inspiration. I like to take an object, still
life, or imagery from a photo and superimpose a small section, as if looking
at it through a magnifying glass. Essentially I isolate a section of "color"
and project it onto canvas which creates a sense of expansiveness and space.
At times I will also contrast isolated color, or "space" with texture or geometric
forms to explore the relationship between space and object. I am also fascinated
with process and the relationship between controlling process and allowing process
to take place naturally. |
