Straight Shot
Works in Jan’s Colorfields are richly-saturated abstract-expressions that characterize his emotional response to events going on around him, and in the contemporary world, and his Pixelated Fabric series reflects on the role that social media played in the result of the 2016 US election.
Utilizing the colors of Jan’s favorite billiard ball, the 15 ball, which is red and black, with a red stripe moving through its center, Straight Shot is a reflection on “the virtue of being straightforward, honest, and true; as opposed to being obfuscatory, elusive, and tricky” in one’s dealings in the world.
Like the other square colorfield prints in the Pixelated Fabric series, this work is brightest toward the center and darkest toward the edges, expressing Jan’s opinion that social progress is best pursued through paths of moderation, toward the center of the political spectrum, and steering clear of the extremes of left, right, and radicalized political rhetoric.
