Jason Andrew Turner⁠ Longing Anthem, 2022⁠ Acrylic on Canvas 36” x 48” ⁠ Jason’s paining, “Longing Anthem” is featured in our show Superfluid, alongside Jason Chen and Maija Miettinen, open through 8/13. ⁠ Hailing from Birmingham, AL, Jason Andrew Turner uses repetitive mark making in concert with coded color theory to engage in themes of mental health, cause and effect, psychic connection, and play. Working mostly in water based materials, almost always with an element of sumi ink, Turner’s abstract works dance between the mechanical and spiritual. The work focuses on the concrete and the ethereal questions that determine our existence and connectivity, thus contrasting memory and experience through the lens of meditation and the unconscious.⁠ #artoftheday #phillyartgallery #jamesolivergallery #artcollectors

Dreamscape of Jason Chen’s work! We always love the chance to spend a little time with the artists’ work before hanging. @thatchinesekid ‘s photo weavings obscure the concept of time, and in the airy space of the gallery, leave us a bit contemplative. Come see Superfluid, on view beginning 6/18.

Working for the weekend…literally, because Superfluid is this Saturday! We’ve been working nonstop this week to bring you guys a very cool new show, we are so excited for Saturday and can’t wait to show you what we have in store. Opening reception will be this Saturday 6/18 from 6-9pm with drinks sponsored by @two_robbers cheers everyone!

Wow what a show! Thank you everyone who came out to see Trajectories, and a big thank you to our talented artists @thelisaroberts and @matthewborgen_artist we are so grateful we were able to show your work in our gallery, you have really brought new life into the space. Thank you to everyone who has come through, we appreciate all of your support with this show. And a big thank you to the talented @creativesynergymedia for creating this awesome video highlighting our closing reception for Trajectories. Thank you again, we can’t wait to see you all at our next show!

Beautiful views inside and out here at the gallery! We hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather we’re having. Make sure to stop by tonight and say hello, only two weeks left to see “Trajectories” with Lisa S. Roberts and Matthew Borgen! We’ll be open from 5:00-8:00pm tonight come on by ☺️

Our favorite architect and designer turned artist @thelisaroberts will be giving an artist talk this Saturday at 6:30pm We cannot wait for her to share her story with all of you! We hope to see you there!

Originally trained as an architect, @thelisaroberts found a greater passion for graphic and product design. Over three decades, she designed in the gift and home furnishing markets for more than 50 diverse manufacturers. Intermittently, Lisa took breaks from designing and wrote four books about contemporary product design: Antiques of the Future, DesignPOP, Mr. Waffles Loves Design, and What is Good Design: A simple question without a simple answer. She was also featured in a TV docu-series titled, “My Design Life.” In 2020, during the pandemic, Lisa’s work changed direction again. She let go of the constraints of product and architecture, and evolved into abstract art. With her love of color and working in cut paper, she found respite in abstraction. “The distinguishing features of my work are the medium of cut paper collage and the graphic colors.”, Lisa explains. Hear the rest of Lisa’s account as she discusses her work next Saturday, May 21st, during our Trajectories artist talk. 723 Chestnut Street, 4th floor, Phila. PA 19106 Start time - 6:30pm

A little time lapse of us installing @thelisaroberts’s pieces “Fiesta in Orange” and “Fiesta in Blue” last night 🔨📏 «Trajectories» opens THIS SATURDAY evening // 6-9pm — we will be accepting all walk-ins! Can’t wait to see all of you here 🌟

Get to know the artists of our new duo exhibition «Trajectories» opening this Saturday, April 16, 2022 🌟 @thelisaroberts & @matthewborgen_artist are quite the unlikely pair at first glance, but we had a vision when we saw their works and set things in motion. Though different in their approach and medium, both Lisa’s cut paper pieces and Matthew’s prints are visual narratives of their individual environments and confrontations. See for yourself at the opening reception this Saturday evening from 6-9pm 💌 🎥 @creativesynergymedia

CSM x JOG • A more in depth look at the artists of «Confections & Mementos», their discipline, and the concept behind some of the works featured in the exhibition 💫 It’s always so special to hear from the artists and learning directly from them. Hoping this video reaches those of you who aren’t able to view this incredible group exhibition in person — or serves as a guide for everyone who planning to attend the closing reception THIS SATURDAY // 6-9pm! 💖 🎥 @creativesynergymedia

Thank you all for attending the opening reception of «Confections & Mementos» last Saturday evening! 💌 Here’s a little sneak peek of the show (shot by @creativesynergymedia) for those of you who weren’t able to get the first look over the weekend.
