Cade Jarvis

Project Description

In these paintings, painter Cade Jarvis wanted to continue to push his fascination with the colors of the sky and the beauty it displays for all to witness. These paintings act as captured moments in time while also pushing the viewer to create their own emotional attachment to each painting. This approach is reflected in the works of many artists in the Abstract Expressionist movement who focused heavily on color theory and the relationships their artworks had on viewers. Artists like Mark Rothko, Joseph Albers and Al Reinhardt are some of Jarvis’s favorite artists who he constantly looks to for inspiration in his own paintings. Their Color Field paintings and interaction between color, time and play between viewer and painting are ideas that Jarvis continues to push in his own work and continue to nurture in his expansive repertoire of techniques as an artist.
