An Interview with Jason Butler.
Who and from where are you?
I was born In Nottingham, England but I have lived in Jersey, Channel Islands all of my life.
How you got into this?
I was very lucky to have a great and caring art teacher called Mark Blanchard who made me realise this was something I could do. From about 13 I became obsessed with drawing and painting.
What is your driving force?
The thing I appreciate so much about making paintings is that there is never a day that goes by where I feel I don't learn something. You realise how little you know and the process just goes on and on. It can be challenging but ultimately I can't imagine doing anything else.
What kind of work you do and why?
My work is centred on the figurative with a greater emphasis on abstraction entering the paintings in the last couple of years. I am fascinated by the idea of Utopias and the kind of rituals we all carry out. Trying to get the work to say something that I could never articulate verbally is the main goal. The process of allowing the work to go through many stages and making 'mistakes' is key.
