About The Artwork
Sculpture: Acrylic Paint on Canvas, Wood, Gel Light Filter Transparent Colour Film, Stainless Steel BUSTAMONTE 54” W x 36.75” H x 4.25” D 137.16 cm x 93.345 cm x 10.795 In true Jay Worth Allen fashion, Bustamonte, a masterful one-of-a kind work, speaks volumes. The very name of this amazingly original work itself is a play on words. Bold, bright, full of color, employing a playful mix of medium as well as function with a message that ultimately resides with the beholder. Using an everyday object — a pair of black-rimmed, canary-tinted eyeglasses, the artist draws us into the canvas upon which it illuminates. Known for his love of God’s creation and the artist’s consequential exquisite rendering of such, beautiful swirling white clouds dance round and round in a deep blue sky, rich in hue, mixing together in joy, paint melding with paint — Jay Worth Allen clouds sandwich the magnificent and elegant torso of a female nude — pure, unadulterated —breathtaking flesh tones executed in perfect precision that collectors of Jay Worth Allen’s work have sought after from the beginning of this amazing artist’s career. As with every work in this vast collection by one of the world’s present day masters, the significance of this piece is profound. True to his style and ability, this work epitomizes the artist’s fons et origo from which he paints — free flowing, unabashed creativity, as if God, himself, were moving the artist’s hand, and sharing the moment with the viewer. Also, as with true craftsmen (the title this artist prefers to label himself, “if one has to perform such a labeling”), this piece does have works on paper from which elements of this masterpiece have been shaped, if not inspired. One such work on paper is a drawing entitled, “Twins” — the first original of which is in a prominent private collection by an international collector in Italy.

United States
— 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).
