Jason Middlebrook, an artist based in upstate New York, creates hypnotizing paintings that combine contrasting media – discarded wooden slabs and paint – into beautiful works of art.
Some of his pieces loosely follow the grain or natural rings of the wood, while others ignore or conflict with it. All, however, use unnatural colors, which he uses to explore mankind’s relationship with nature.
There is a beast with heart of cold stone
that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. //
Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees.
My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. //
I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw
