DescriptionThe "Untitled" by Jason
Molfessis reflects his personal style through one of his distinct methods, that
of a wall relief on wrought lead. It is in the 1960s that the artist began to
use different materials in his works, processing and developing forms and
shapes, using elements from computer and telex codified language that he weaves
into his own gestural idiom. The humans-machines of his oeuvre conform to his
reconnoitering of the contemporary era, conversing with the traditional norms
of human figure depiction, but also projecting with clarity the human’s new
standing and way of being in the future.
