Jay Exon

Jay Exon is a mid-career represented artist. He began flourishing a brush painting scenery for the theatre during his apprenticeship with noted set designer Richard Ellis. In 2015, Jay began painting full-time and soon developed a career as an independent artist. Though his abstract style is a departure from that of his formal training, he brings to each work a sense of theatricality

He say's of his work, "My paintings are serendipitous discoveries revealed through open-minded experimentation. I paint as if treasure hunting, inspired by possibilities in pursuit of the novel. Painting is an adventure, a quest of self-discovery.

I find that there are no accidents on my canvases, only coincidences. Perhaps Robert Motherwell of the New York School put it best: 'In the brush doing what it is doing, it will stumble upon what one couldn't do by oneself.'"

Jay lives and works in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
