Jason Rohlf
BIO
Jason Rohlf (b. 1970, Milwaukee, WI) is a Brooklyn-based artist working primarily in painting. His works range from his extensive Shop Rag Project to massive painted tarps up to 12 feet tall. His practice is heavily process-driven and reveals a deep understanding and investigation of materials and color. Each piece is the field for continued exploration as countless layers of collage, mediums and acrylic paint coalesce to become a finished painting. Conveying an urban palimpsest, elements of relief, affect, transformation, and time all become present in the work.
Rohlf’s work has been reviewed in Hyperallergic, Time Out Chicago, and Milwaukee Magazine among others. Notable solo and group exhibitions have taken place at Tory Folliard Gallery (Milwaukee, WI), ReInstitute (Millerton, NY), Rick Wester (New York, NY), Pentimenti Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), and Pelham Art Center (Pelham, NY), among others. He attended the Sam & Adel Golden Paint Foundation at Golden Artist Colors, New Berlin, NY, and produced a public arts project for the MTA Arts for Transit at Far Rockaway in Queens.
