Synthesism Collection SYNTHESISM Guiding Statement: I am convinced more and more that in the midst of so much post-modern deconstruction, division, and atomization we are in need of synthesis. Blending and combining influences that draw us to truth, beauty, and goodness in a familiar but uniquely personal way. The “Synthesist” is someone who looks hopefully into the past, present, and future, curating what is impacting them to create a “new” expression. Embracing nuance, and de-prioritizing certainty, this philosophy can apply to a variety of disciplines, art, architecture, philosophy, culture, politics, etc.and allows for fresh, less polarized/dogmatic voices to emerge. “Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two.” -Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel “We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.” -Li Ka-shing “Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.” -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin “Fear Not” 52” W x 78in” H Reverse abstraction Mixed media on canvas 24k gold memory fragments • Notes on each painting: “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” -Twain

Jason DeMeo is a contemporary artist working out of Nashville, Tennessee creating art that instigates transformation & connection. The work reflects his belief that matter is miraculous. Jason’s greatest intention with his creativity is to manifest a world of artifacts, environments, and friendships that celebrate beauty, universal truth, and goodness. Of Italian heritage and originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jason has always appreciated the beauty, serendipity, and surprise that comes with nature and it’s natural processes. Nature finds a way to create beauty out of the most mundane things…rusted bridges, faded shipping containers, decaying walls…not to mention the unlimited ways that it effortlessly produces art through the use of light, energy, and matter. These unexpected moments of beauty serve as source material for Jason’s work. He has pioneered an innovative process called Reverse Abstraction™ where the painting is applied directly to the floor of the studio, dried and adhered then pulled off bringing “memory fragments” layers of paint from years gone by with it. He is exploring a concept that he has coined Synthesism™. It stems from the definition of the word synthesis: “the combining of often diverse elements into a coherent whole.” You can see this theme of blending, combining, and remixing happening in many disciplines today, especially music, architecture, and even culture as we grow as a global community. Modernism constructs, Post-modernism deconstructs, Synthesism combines. Movements like Bauhaus and Black Mountain College have been instrumental in his thinking. WIth a deep belief in the power of art to bring transformation to both spaces and people, he hopes that each one of his works serves as a meditation for the viewer, drawing them into the story and meaning of the piece, while simultaneously inviting them to create their own.
