Jason Chrisman

Jason Chrisman is a painter from Southern California whose work has been described as “Pop Pointillism.” The subjects of his work are often contemporary or historical iconic figures and scenes, animals or familiar objects rendered in pointillism, which is a technique of painting elaborated from impressionism in which dots of unmixed colour are juxtaposed on a white background.

Close up the work appears abstract but from a distance the dots fuse in the viewer’s eye into appropriate intermediate tones and recognizable shapes. Chrisman's work may also incorporate other techniques and layers of paint to create complex textures that enhance the emotional depth of the piece.

When Chrisman is not at his studio, he can be found in and around the Los Angeles area at various venues such as art galleries, festivals, and on the famous boardwalk of Venice Beach.
