Jason Karolak creates abstract, geometric paintings informed by architecture, music, color phenomena, and screen technologies.
Karolak’s practice serves as a way to process experiences from his environment, drawing on the vernacular of objects and design he encounters. This research extends to utopian architecture, communal societies, musical structures, and color phenomena. His layered brushwork and color palettes organize color into floating, illuminated structures that suggest imagined or speculative architectures set within projected spaces.
