ARTIST STORY
Jayson is a contemporary artist who creates at the forefront of printmaking practices, incorporating painting and collage techniques into his process. He adopts a distinctive approach towards modern landscape that is heavily architecturally focused, whereby certain familiar landmarks are zoomed in on and iconic structures from the metropolis are reproduced. We love Jayson’s innovative triaging of silkscreen, painting and collage to create electric compositions that are filled with colour.
