Jason McCrea’s debut show AFTERBURN is a journey through a collection of new large-scale works. The show unfolds similar to an album, where each painting stands as a song. Individually exploring their own pallets and subject matter, surprises can be found from one to the next. Casting a surreal use of colour as a way to interject fantasy into reality. With this body of work, Jason gives space for more creative choices and embraces the process of creating through intuition. Combining subjects from both imagination and life to create something new. In this way, more nuanced feelings can be felt in the work. Experiences of adventure, solitude, heartbreak and an overall excitement for life are at the core of what is translated into paint. In these times of excessive noise and uncertainty, the title of the exhibition, AFTERBURN, speaks in the spirit to keep going. In hopes of an encouraging message, no matter how small, what lights us up inside and inspires us is more important than ever.
