Jason Wheatley’s first solo exhibition, “Language of the Birds”, features surreal and dreamlike still life paintings that explore our relationship to fantastical ideas and recognizable imagery. Embracing the illustrative style of John James Audubon’s famed avion paintings, Wheatley deploys realist and absurdist sensibilities to each still life. Filled with metaphor and riddles, each canvas demonstrates a contemporary sense of whimsey, wit and folly.

“I dabble in the absurd and make it accessible and beautiful at the same time. I want people to feel like they have stumbled onto a riddle. The don’t have to figure it out, just know that something is taking place.” -Jason Wheatley
