Beschreibung
San Francisco-based artist Jason Jägel is known for his complex paintings and drawings that fill sheets of paper, canvases and entire walls of buildings. In this book, Jägel also shows some figures drawn with sumi black ink and a brush as single images. This produces spaces on paper. Not empty spaces, but spaces that are under tension. Spaces full of invisible threads that have already been spun by all the figures.
Among many others, Jason Jägel created the intricate painting for the album cover “MM..FOOD” by MF DOOM, a turning point for hip-hop album art. Jägel’s work is featured in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the UCLA Hammer Museum, among others. You can also see some of his work on walls in the streets of San Francisco.
