The artist wanted to share some wintery photos taken outside of our studio. Since the storms began last Sunday, we hadn't been able to even go outside (except for very early Monday morning, when to our chagrin, we had no water, leaving us no option but to stand for three hours in the wee hours of the morning at 2 degrees Fahrenheit during an icy maelstrom to thaw out our pipes using the artist's wife's hairdryer). Needless to say, it was a cold endeavor, but one very much worth it, because the ice and snow storm did not let up until yesterday morning, a full five days later. Today is now Friday, the 20th of February 2021. So, with the proverbial cabin fever in full tilt, I went out to have a venture with phone in hand. Oh, and by the way, the temperature had warmed up since Monday; the artist assured me it was now up to nine degrees.

— Artist Statement — I was born. When I was about 6, I started drawing. Later, I started painting. That's still what I'm doing. What I know, I put into my work. I am interested in visible or tangible things that ARE, rather than Opinion. In my work, there are pre-formed, conventional, depersonalized, factual elements — impartial objects. I am concerned with the wholeness of a thing remaining within the boundaries of knowledge. It is within this boundary that I strive to conceal and reveal known objects at the same time. We have an existing language of words, signs, symbols, shapes, formulas, treatises, poems and the like — whole bodies of belief and knowledge that can, presumably, describe and penetrate anything and everything. Yet, I am forced to recognize that the system which enables me to form a piece of art and to think coherently cannot define how I uniquely think or feel, or even how I picture myself and everything outside myself. The plane of my work has always been real things — REAL MOMENTS RESTING IN TIME, where the ideational and perceptual worlds intersect to form image, idea, icon, and space, and — where I, and therefore the viewer, is projected through to another reality. Technique is inextricably tied to the content of my work. By working in all mediums, I work with numerous techniques. As a painter, acrylic is my medium of choice. My 3D & sculptural materials range from chicken wire to wood to concrete blocks to whatever material I find in my field of sight. The methods I use in printmaking (woodblock, silkscreen, blueprints, lithographs) all combine multiple processes. For me there is no hierarchy among these mediums and techniques; yet, drawing is the foundation for all my work. It’s is the way I speak the best, the clearest. — Brief Bio — On March 6 (the anniversary of Michelangelo’s birthday), J. Worth Allen (“Jay”) was born in Daylight, Tennessee. He grew up in Austin. Studied in Memphis, London, Oxford, New York, Los Angeles—. Has exhibited in New York, Texas, California, London, Edinburgh, France, and beyond. At 16, he was accepted into the top 3 art schools in the nation, each, with full scholarships: Pratt Institute/Fine Art, The Art Institute of Chicago and The Art Academy in Memphis, which won out (via a cartographical nudge from his dad).
