The Artist JFeelgood Presents:
'ASCENSION'
2021 Fine Art Series
Welcome to the "Ascension" series by JFeelgood, a remarkable collection that delves into the realms of spiritual growth and transcendence. As an art gallery committed to showcasing works that inspire and uplift, we are proud to present this series, which captures the essence of rising above the ordinary to reach a higher state of consciousness.
The "Ascension" series is a celebration of spiritual evolution, expressed through vibrant and dynamic mixed media works. Each piece in this collection reflects the artist's exploration of themes such as enlightenment, inner peace, and the journey toward self-realization. Through the use of bold colors, intricate textures, and symbolic imagery, JFeelgood creates a visual narrative that resonates with those seeking to connect with their higher selves.
This series invites viewers to reflect on their own paths of ascension, encouraging a deeper understanding of the spiritual aspects of life. Whether you are drawn to the symbolism of the ascent or the beauty of the artistic expression, the "Ascension" series offers a transformative experience that speaks to the soul.
We invite you to explore this collection at the JFeelgood Art Gallery, where art and spirituality converge, guiding you on a journey of self-discovery and elevation.

Four canvases.
Eight colors.
I defined constraints of:
-Using black to simple sketch
-Using only two colors per piece
-Using the absence of color to emphasize the subject more boldly
These paintings were made in collaboration with @cyclop_toad (Improv experimental electro musician, Austin TX) through the process of 'paintjam' where music is performed live as I am painting and our two creative efforts feed one another in a conversation of mediums. What appeared on each piece came to me only when the brush was first picked up, seconds before each new painting began. This series was completed in one hour.
This series stands apart from most works I have done in the last 18 years of painting. It may have been the first time I really set out to challenge myself with intentional constraints rather than environmental constraints I may have found myself in prior, not just in material use but in execution: Say more with less. I found the challenge to be an exciting conduit for deep thoughts, not all but a few, which I hold close to heart. The result was a poignant reminder to me that powerful messages need very little to convey their strength.
Below are the four paintings of the ASCENSION Fine Art Series, created in late 2020 and shown to the public for the first time in 2021.
