Artist statement
"This work is exclusive to IdeelArt.
This work is part of the series Asphalt Abstracted Ad Astra.

Jason Engelund’s new paintings “Asphalt Abstracted Ad Astra” are represented by IdeelArt Paris, London.
Engelund earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts with Distinction at the California College of Arts and Crafts and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Davis.
