Jamison Brosseau
"Sprite"
20" x 15"
Signed edition of 50
$150
Known for his vibrant panels covered in playful maze-like symbols, Jack-O-Lantern smiles, and Matisse-esque flora and fauna, Jamison Brosseau simplifies patterns from nature and culture to achieve symbolic imagery in the form of flattened shapes. Through a repetitive drawing process that involves Sharpie drawings on yellow legal paper, Brosseau is able to parse out foreground and background through line, making decisions about color only after constructing the composition. The resulting paintings are built through many thin layers of paint applied quickly, with drips accepted as part of the process. "Sprite"–with its eponymous tri-color palette–emerges as a lively character, made iconic through our own cultural associations.
