ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I started by dividing the paper into a golden mean grid. Then I invented calligraphic figures that worked their way into and around that grid. The shapes that these figures suggested to me (like the drawings that I have worked for decades) became lakes and fields, the view from airplanes, distant mountain, dreamlike apparitions all pushing and pulling for attention but restrained by the (imaginary now) grid, or else they would fly apart. The golden figure in the center, you will see, becomes a glowing chakra and in low lights a miniature, like a microcosm, of the entire piece. Everything in this is painstakingly masked so that the shapes are solid and determined. I painted these on super heavy 600lb Arches watercolor paper that has been extensively prepared for permanence and longevity. They can be easily mounted on panel or canvas for framing.

Bill Jehle
United States
I was raised in a small town on the California Mexico border. My parents were both artists, father-architect, mother-painter/ceramicist. Several kinds of art activities were always on the schedule whether it was visiting craftspeople in Mexicali, silkscreening Christmas cards that I would design, watching my mother paint - and always drawing. One year we painted 20 larger than life versions of Lautrec’s Parisian night life scenes for a “church” gala. My father was not only an architect but he made things-that’s where I learned how to make things-and now I make things too. I was educated locally and at CU Boulder, CalARTS and Cooper Union.Some of the teachers that had the biggest influence with me: Jerry Kunkel, Jack Whitten, Paul Brach, Miriam Schapiro, Lynda Benglis and Jim Starrett. My work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Kansas City, Hawaii and is in both corporate and private collections around the country. In 2017 I partnered with another artist to produce twenty large scale images for a Metro station in Santa Monica California. Now my practice consists of sculpture (with a bend toward the utilitarian,) architectural rendering, life and plein air drawing and watercolor (of which I’ve published several books) and complex formal abstraction that encompass’ my interest in natural phenomena, psychedelic experience, western and eastern systems of geometry and philosophy. I love ambiguities – in shape, pigment, texture, as well as a more contemplative aspect of focus and intensity.
