FUSION GALLERY | JASON LUCERO

Jason Lucero is a visual artist/painter who graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a degree in Studio Art. His work takes on various forms such as monotypes, collages, paintings and drawings. Lucero’s visual
work is mixed with another one of his passions–the kitchen, which he
mentions as a great impact and an influence on his artistic work.

“I minored in Printmaking and fell I love with making monotypes. Most of my recent work is created using parts of these prints. I also collage and add elements of painting or drawing when appropriate.”

INFLUENCES
Our landscape, family, work. We are lucky to live where we live. The skies
are immense and we live around a mountain.
I now have a family and cannot deny that being a father has influenced how
and why I make things. With prioritizing time, creating becomes 3rd or 5th if
I’m healthy/lucky.

STUDIES
I received my BFA in Studio Art (Painting) from University of Texas at El
Paso in 2015.

TECHNIQUES USED
I minored in Printmaking and fell I love with making monotypes. Most of my
recent work is created using parts of these prints. I also collage and add
elements of painting or drawing when appropriate.

“Work is really important. I work a lot and I used that same energy when creating. I’ve  been in the kitchen for 7 years and it has had a great impact on how I approach my visual work.”

ASPIRATIONS
To be a stay at home dad.

WHAT YOU WANT TO SHOW IN YOUR WORK
I work intuitively and draw from daily experiences and memory in order to
develop a landscape or thought. Layering these instances creates a story
and sometimes they are stacked and sometimes they can be thin, but they
still weigh of the same importance.

“I would like the viewer to be curious and ask questions about what they are
seeing.”
