ABOUT NICK JASKEY
Nick Jaskey is a self-taught artist based in Detroit, MI. Inspired by the subtleties of his environment, Jaskey photographs visual details that suggest a deeper dialogue), then draws from the color, composition, and texture depicted in those photos to create abstractions.

"I have always wanted to figure out a way to work my paintings into something functional that can be used in everyday life. This series of pots is just that. Each piece is hand-painted as if it were an original painting. From afar, the painting can look printed, but up close you can see the texture from the brush and a hard edge look, which comes from individually masking and cutting out each shape. I want the work to look human and imperfect at times; it's very important for me to see my hand in the painting. I strive to find a balance somewhere between raw and polished in my work." — Nick Jaskey
