One is never one. One is always two. And when there is two, then there is three. Explanation: One has himself to relate which makes two. And then he has the relationship of the two which is the third person. So one is always three 😊

Jason Venetsanopoulos approaches painting as an improvisatory activity that unveils memories and experiences, which can be rendered accessible through the creative process. Such an improvisatory activity, though, should not be confused with an agentless surrender to randomness, but rather considered as the composition of unforeseeable elements that might spring from the unconscious, from ideas, dreams, feelings, and from the constant interaction with the materials. For Venetsanopoulos there is no particular intention lying behind painting; it is not a matter of conscious choice, but rather of a creative urge, an impulse to give form to thoughts and emotions and to spontaneously draw images seared in memory. Thereby, painting turns into a ritual, a meditative process during which artist and artwork exist as one inseparable whole.
