JASSART
This Brooklyn, NY native, who currently resides in Atlanta, GA, is dedicated to using his works of art as an expression of the imagination without limits. “I never create when I’m under pressure” is the artistic credo that Craig is committed to living by. He is, at heart, a nonconformist whose independent approach to the creative process fosters his unique brand of art. One look at his polychromatic designs and you are immediately transported to a world where bold forms and vibrant colors are explored without boundaries. When creating his one-of-a-kind pieces, Craig retreats into his own little world where restrictions and outside influences can’t reach him and he doesn’t surface until every ounce of feeling and emotion is transferred to his design.
Judging from the number of his pieces that are in personal collections around the country, as well as the numerous magazine articles and reviews that have been written about him, Craig’s many fans have responded positively to this transference of artistic energy. It’s this feeling of unbridled creativity that causes anyone who sees his work to embark on a wild ride of limitless possibilities, at the end of which, you feel totally liberated from rules and convention. When asked how he is able to use his imagination to make us feel so free, it’s not surprising that he simply shrugs his shoulders and says “[i]t’s imbedded in my DNA. I’m supposed to be an artist.”
