About
A recurrent theme and starting point of my recent paintings has been based on memories, both recent and earlier, that have left a visual impact. The themes in my paintings normally represent a passing moment in a particular place and time. Working on a number of pieces concurrently, gives each piece room to breathe and develop at its own pace.
Recent paintings have the same size format, the largest size series to date, all covering different subject matter. Working on this size, has allowed exploration in more detail which would have not been possible in the smaller format.
Recent paintings aim to capture different moments, each with its own point of reference. The point of reference is rarely static and usually in flux. The evolving point of reference is an interest, in how it may resonate in the current climate.

"Jason Gibilaro has a remarkable way of portraying London life with a vibrant and canny palette, sometimes depicting people as they queue for that unmissable place to be seen, sometimes highlighting an overlooked part of town flourishing with colour."
