The protagonist inhabits a world that is only half real, half dream and all illusion. She struggles through a world of her own imagining, a battle, a quest, lost in her own private dreamscape. She brings tidings, news, proclamations but who will hear her message?

This painting is a variation upon an old theme. I have made many works that inhabit the space where plane and form intersect. I like to play with the dynamics of the rounded and the flattened, rhyming to the eye that so wants to see shape and space where there is only paint. What is in, is out and what is out is only sometimes in. The spaces lie and the shapes deceive. As a painter I trick and giggle into my palette. Down here I am God.

As is often found in my work the protagonist inhabits a world that is only half real, half dream and all illusion. She struggles through a world of her own imagining, a battle, a quest, lost in her own private dreamscape. She brings tidings, news, proclamations but who will hear her message?

Incredible artwork! Really unique! Gives unique feeling in the room where we have it and its energy feels very alive. It projects something special to the whole house; like a divine protection.

The intersection of true artful human expression and well-tended subconscious emanations - this is how I see Jake's art, and especially 'Gemini.'
I was delighted to come across Jake's art. The process of discovery and acquisition of the print have been wonderfully human and pleasant. Mark is an absolute delight in correspondence. I can't wait to have the print back from the framers' and hang it on my wall. I may just place a chair before it and sit with it when I feel in need of a meaningful conversation.
Thank you, Jake & Mark
