“The World Without Clocks.” and “Language. We finally realized it was language that was keeping us in boxes limited by the inadequacies. We knew language can't articulate it all, but then we realized language had shaped our minds and language's limitations formed walls in our ability to know.”

Metamodern, existential, colorful, Engelund's paintings take us further into visceral encounters with paint and text as his landscapes abstract into the poetic road via a playful cosmos.

Engelund seamlessly juxtaposes contradictory notions of painting, from zen-like hand-less aretê to childlike technê, while embracing the range of simple pleasures of, to the ab-ex impact of color. Text in Engelund’s new works becomes more prominent than his previous work ranging from poetic playfulness to addressing philosophical problems. Soulful, channeling the progressive California spirit Engelund’s new paintings are an investigation into universal if personal metamodern concerns.

Jason Engelund’s new paintings “Asphalt Abstracted Ad Astra” are represented by Ideel Art Paris, London.
