Jason Urban
Jason Urban’s work clearly draws from a variety of sources, such as: television, film, politics, comic books, art, suburbia, violence and the hero ideal. Because of all these influences and the manner in which the work is presented; often in poster or billboard-like format, his style is quite reminiscent of the pop-art movement of the 1960s. “Using image and text, I communicate information, sometimes enigmatic and sometimes blunt. In both painting and print, my work exists in what I think of as Poster Space, where images are reduced to icons and text is condensed into ticker-style bullets,” says Urban.

In contrast to his pop-art predecessors, Urban has a very formal, hand on approach to creating his work. The approach begins and ends with the human hand and incorporates various mechanical manipulations along the way. Urban’s work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions across the United States from 1997 to the present.
