LIGHT CRAFT by Caroline Jasper

Noted for striking use of light and color, Caroline Jasper�s images range from casual scenes to object studies, many reflecting regional landscape and heritage. Whether painting trees or water, glass or architecture, each of Jasper�s paintings is motivated by a �moment of light.�
Its always about the light, says Jasper. Without dramatic lighting the ordinary remains boring.
Water, windows, boat hulls, and other reflective surfaces characterize her favored subject. Painting primarily in her studio, she either works from direct observation or references her many original photographs, capturing light and shadow effects at various times of day. Red is Caroline Jaspers trademark. By no means the first to paint on color ground, Jaspers choice of color is unexpected. Each of her painting begins on a canvas totally covered with cadmium red paint. After first painting whites then darks, the artist applies to a broad palette of color in short, scarcely blended brushstrokes. Color theory issues dictate mixtures and juxtapositions. In the end, underlying red, still visible in bits, permeates the canvas. The red ground�s presence, while more obvious at close range, produces interactive visual effects when viewed from a greater distance.
