Weinberger Fine Art is pleased to present our first solo exhibition with Kansas City based artist Jason Needham titled The Majestic Mundane. The Majestic Mundane is set to open on September 23rd and will run through November 9th. Please join us for an opening reception on the evening of Friday, September 23rd from 6 - 9 pm.
Jason is drawing and painting scenes that are very familiar to him: still life or interior compositions taken from his home, or forest scenes just off the beaten path. The trick is to see these mundane moments as majestic while allowing the mistakes of hand and misconceptions of the eye be as present as the purposeful. He like the paintings to coalesce from a distance but upon close inspection fall apart into marks and express the process of making, with the underlaying scaffolding of the image still visible. Each brushstroke becomes a single particle and the painting a wave of time-space. Whether he's standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon or staring into the corner of a room, the investment in looking is just the same. On one end, he's working areas of his brain that lie deeper than the surface stream of thoughts, the self-narrating voice. On the other end, he's pondering the fundamental structure of reality.
