Biography:
Jason Altobelli is an artist living and working in Milwaukee, WI. A transplant from New Hampshire he arrived in the Midwest in 2007 and has recently emerged on the scene exhibiting locally and in Chicago.
Finding his humble beginnings as a graffiti artist he received a B.F.A. from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2004 where he studied fine art photography with a concentration in psychology.
Gravitating towards painting after college he took on a more narrative approach to creating his artwork, exploring how images, tone, and movement become conversational as they relate to each other, logically and emotionally.
Artist Statement:
Revolving around a continual fascination with psychology my artwork is a springboard into the psyche of both the artist and the audience.
Drawing inspiration from psychological Rorschach tests I combine images, text, and the painterly gesture as fragments, separate pieces to the puzzle that when placed together create the middle of a story.
This openness allows the audience the freedom and flexibility to create the beginning and end as they become the catalyst and active participant in the realization and completion of the artwork.
I am driven to answer the question; what does the person next to you see?
