Jay Pingree
We were instinctively drawn to the figurative compositions of Jay Pingree and his distorted cosmopolitan commuter winding their way through life’s tunnels and turnstiles.
Jay carefully captures figures in motion on camera using long exposure, reducing the detail to shapes and bodies in transit. In his studio he recreates the flow and rhythm in acrylic, using rapid abstract brushstrokes and calculated gestures. His paintings are sensitively observed producing minimalistic, authentic images, but the sense of chaos and continuum is ever present.
Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jay now lives in the New York area and has exhibited internationally since 2007, including ScopeNewYork, Gallery Twentyfour in Berlin and Lana Santorelli in New York. We are delighted to now be able to introduce his work for the first time to Scandinavia.
The Nordic Art Agency are proud to represent artist Jay Pingree exclusively in Scandinavia.
