We turn ourselves into solitary objects hurtling through a space widened by the perception of our isolation. All the time thinking ourselves dull and cold and unseen while the universe observes us in awe of the spectacle we continue to be.

Jason Matias Proudly Presents: Edge Of Solace
Edge of Solace
This scene is as much painting as photograph. It is a scene I’ve longed for but never found and, finally, allowed my creativity to rend reality. Edge of Solace is an idea I’ve carried with me for a long time but I feel that it was Seattle and the Northwest that gave me the inspiration and the building blocks to bring it to life. All the elements in Edge of Solace were captured in Seattle and Mercer Island making it a true work of the Pacific Northwest and a statement about my time here.
As I strive to visualize and create this idea of Comfortable Isolation I find myself drawn to water and what it represents: renewal, neutrality, energy. In psychology, the ego is referred to as a pool of energy. Too often, I visit my ego when it is roiling, dry, or as hard as ice. In my meditations, I imagine myself on the shore of my ego and I will it to be vast. The Edge of Solace is my reminder to self to visit here often, to meditate on my experiences, to check-in with my feelings, and to keep this place vibrant and full.
Edge of Solace is an edition of 50 available starting at 60" (1.5m). See more examples of the work and request a quote at www.jasonmatias.com/edge-of-solace

You're Invited to an Art Event at Sotheby's in Madison Park, Seattle
Luxury is an experience, not a price point.
I love that tag-line from Realogics Sotheby's in Seattle. It applies to art as much as it applies to the beautiful homes they find for their clients. On the 22nd we are kicking off a month-long art exhibit in the Park House on 4031 E Madison Street, Seattle. There will be great wine and eats. I will be showing several pieces including the new Avendasora, pictured below, and Nude 1.
I will be available throughout the month-long exhibit to meet at the Park House and talk about the art. As always, feel free to schedule with me via email or phone 808.321.8643
Join us at The Park House, located at 4031 E Madison Street, on February 22nd from 4-8PM for an art pop-up featuring fine art by Jason Matias! We will be serving small bites and libations and will have a special opportunity to hear Jason speak about his art from 5:30-6PM.
