Jason Shawn Alexander Quotes

When I paint figures it's never the idea of painting the beauty of the figure, it is using the figure to get across how I feel.

I love the figure to get across what I feel.

I never want to paint anything just to make a pretty picture. The only reason I do this is because it's an outlet, it's emotional.

If you walk by something that I've done and you like it then I don't think I did what I was supposed to do. It should hit, it should either make you feel uncomfortable, or it should make you feel great, as long as it makes you feel something.

The figure is just the most represented tool to get thoughts and feelings across.

I don't like literal spaces, I don't like literal anything. I still like some kind of guess work but some pieces work and they just pop.

I paint like an abstract painter everything is inside nothing is meant to be, I take tattoos off a people I take anything that's not necessarily going to be timeless. I want to get across what I feel and I just use the figure because I enjoy the figure.
