Jonathan Lasker incorporates biomorphic shapes, geometric patterns, and graffiti marks within a shared pictorial space. His choice of bold color, his gestural forms and his recurrent use of grid are all part of his distinctive artistic vocabulary. Lasker plays with the visual means of his paintings combining paste-like thick applications of paint with simple line drawings. In his work, opposing elements such as matte and smooth paint, ordered and scribbled forms coexist within the canvas. While his paintings are abstract, the various elements such as the scribbles, the grid and the repetition create a narrative in his paintings. Lasker has generated an alphabet of signs, almost like an unknown script that play with each other in terms of opposition and superimposition. As such Lasker develops a new approach to abstract painting.
