“Wright’s most recent series, HEARTLAND, is a departure from the mixed-media style of his earlier work. Instead, it re-examines in a new light the traditional take on knife painted landscapes. Research for Wright’s art comes from his many passions that have led him on journeys around the world, from the deserts of the United States to the farmlands of New Zealand. His passion for life and his unique view of the world are ever-present in his emotionally driven paintings. Using brilliant, expressive colors, and bold knife strokes, Jason Wright creates startlingly haunting skylines and dream-like landscapes. Layer by layer, he provides just enough detail in his play on the theory of shelter and landscapes to set his paintings apart from the rest of the palette knife painters on the scene today.” — Mark Ryden
