RELEASING THE VEIL Recent Paintings by Jason John Artist's Gallery Talk: Saturday, January 25, 2014, 4pm Main Gallery Free public artist talk: Saturday, January 25, 4pm This solo exhibition of eleven of Jason John's recent paintings is one of six selected from among 165 proposals submitted for consideration for Manifest's tenth season. Manifest is proud to showcase these dramatic paintings in our Main Gallery. John's tightly crafted yet playfully surreal works are energized by color, composition, and the theatrical narratives implied by the interaction of his human subjects within environments at once restricting and liberating. Jason John's work is represented at WWA Gallery in Los Angeles, California and Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California. Recently he was inducted into the Museum of Realist Art in Boston, Massachusetts. His work has been on the covers of Blue Canvas Magazine, Art Calendar, Poets and Artists Magazine, and Visual Arts Overture Magazine. His work has also been featured in American Arts Quarterly, American Art Collector Magazine, Manifest Gallery’s International Painting Annuals 1, 2, and 3, Studio Visit Magazine, Creative Quarterly Magazine, and Aesthetica Magazine. Jason is presently assistant professor of painting at University of North Florida in Jacksonville. IMPRINT AN EXHIBIT OF CONTEMPORARY PRINTMAKING BY 20 ARTISTS FROM 12 STATES AND CANADA Drawing Room and Parallel Space Exhibit continues: January 25 - February 21, 2014 Like photography, printmaking is a genre of creative work that is underscored by its processes. Some artists are steadfast traditionalists, anchoring themselves in age-old technical methods. Others push the boundaries of the discipline, exploring just what constitutes ‘printmaking’. For this exhibit Manifest takes a fresh look at the media last featured at the gallery in season 5. The exhibit includes works of lithography, woodcut, etching, monoprint, silkscreen, photopolymer intaglio, aquatint, and mezzotint. Manifest's several-member jury reviewed 572 works by 229 artists from 38 states and 11 countries for this competitively selected exhibit. Twenty-six works by the following 20 artists from 12 states and Canada were selected for exhibition and will also be featured in the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication (MEA) at the close of the season.

This exhibition concept offers a very wide window through which artists and designers were invited to interpret and apply their work. For this purpose 'systems' was defined loosely as processes or information made up of routines or rules, by which 'inputs' are converted into 'outputs' through a consistent orderly method. For example, works may themselves be products epitomizing systematic processes, may simply be illustrative of such processes (i.e. an image of machines in a factory system), or may be imitations of systematic products or results. Systems may be tangible physical processes, or conceptual, political, or philosophical processes. The goal is to reveal how such a modern concept such as 'system', one which affects so much of our daily lives, shows up in visual art, illustration, or design. It is also to inspire deeper consideration of this fact on the part of the visitors to the exhibition - to reveal the interconnected processes into which they themselves provide fuel, directly or indirectly through participation or consumption. Manifest's several-member jury reviewed 289 works by 129 artists from 29 states and 8 countries. Sixteen works by the following 14 artists from 10 states and the country of Slovenia were selected for exhibition and will also be featured in the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication (MEA) at the close of the season. The exhibit includes paintings, fiber works, self-generating animations, photography, sculpture, collage, and wall-based installation.
