Jacob Savisky: "Untitled" No. 0038

Series 8, Glacies Collection 
Medium: Acrylic, Charcoal, Oil Pastel, Graphite
Artwork Dimension: 24"x 36"
 
Jacob Savisky is a Pittsburgh area based Abstract Expressionist, whose work blends acrylic paint, oil pastel, charcoal, and graphite into intricately layered paintings that explore the relationship between simplicity and complexity. 
 
For Savisky, art is a wayward journey of self-discovery, rather than the concise destination of a linear path. Process makes the product. His latest “Glacies Collection” is inspired by the breathtaking Alaskan glacier ice he photographed in a recent trip to the North Pacific. The paintings in this collection abstractly echo the formal elements and aesthetic identities found in these glaciers. ‘Glacies’, Latin for ‘Ice’, appropriately titles this collection, as its pieces convey the exquisite nature and beauty found in such a simple, yet complex, phenomenon.
