SUMMARY:Borderland: New Landscape Paintings - JASON NEEDHAM
DESCRIPTION:This solo-exhibition will feature new paintings by artist\, Jason Needham! We hope you will join us for our opening reception on First Friday\, May 1st from 5:00pm – 8:00pm! \n—- \nJason Needham is a Kansas City–based painter whose work draws from the traditions of Impressionism\, Post-Impressionism\, and early American modernism. Influenced by artists such as David Hockney\, Neil Welliver\, Lois Dodd\, and Marsden Hartley\, Needham reinterprets these historical approaches through a contemporary lens. \nHis paintings focus on the familiar—quiet interiors\, still lifes\, and overlooked landscapes just beyond the everyday path. Through vibrant color and attentive observation\, he transforms these ordinary scenes into moments of quiet grandeur. Needham embraces both intention and imperfection\, allowing gestures\, misperceptions\, and visible brushwork to remain present. From a distance\, his compositions cohere into unified images; up close\, they dissolve into layered marks that reveal the structure and process of their making. \nFor Needham\, painting is both an act of sustained looking and a meditation on perception itself. Whether depicting a vast landscape or a corner of a room\, he approaches each subject with equal focus\, inviting viewers to reconsider the beauty and complexity embedded in the everyday. \nBorn in Dixon\, Illinois in 1971\, Needham earned his BFA in Painting from the University of Kansas in 1997 and now lives and works in Kansas City with his family. His career spans a range of art-related fields—including screen printing\, stained glass\, museum security\, and education—all of which continue to inform his studio practice. His work has been exhibited nationally at venues such as the Kansas City Artist Coalition\, Zip 37\, and The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities\, and is held in collections including the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. In 2019\, he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Artist Grant\, and his exhibitions have been reviewed in publications including The Kansas City Star and Westword.
