The fourth iteration of Alliance features the work of Jason REVOK, with proceeds directed to the Innocence Project. REVOK’s assemblage works have held an ongoing presence in his practice since 2012 when he first lived in Detroit and utilized found wood and metal scraps to create layered groupings of raw material and paint. This would be his initial departure from more traditional graffiti-inspired work and came at a time when the artist was asking questions about identity and perception as a way to navigate a new chapter in his life and career. The works developed further again in 2014 when they shifted from collages of found materials to concentric patterns made from precise cuts of wood created entirely in studio. This evolution of his assemblage works have echoed moments in time, and much like two of his greatest inspirations, Frank Stella and Robert Rauschenberg, this introspection has moved him back and forth between 2 and 3-dimensional works throughout his career; Stella described this goal to ‘construct a painting’ in the early 1970s with his Polish Village series. Similarly, REVOK creates a cradle for his intricate woodcuts, laying them in concentric patterns inside. Further elements wrap around the work, breaking the pattern and adding additional dimension. REVOK recognizes within these works a sentiment that seems to merge the human hand—and as an extension, the body and mind—with technology, existing at a place where the organic and the algorithm meet.
