General Information
Jack N. Mohr, a native of Berlin, Germany, studied visual communication and earned a MA in graphic-design at the State University for Creative Arts in Berlin. 1997 he moved to Santa Barbara, California. He works in different mediums — collage, painting, sculpture, print, and ceramics. In his mainly abstract art he likes to explore how light and shadow, contrasting forms and structures or colors interrelate.
Statement/Mission
Contradiction and conflict determine the creative process of my work. I am fascinated by the presentation of opposites, exploring the effects of light and shadow or integrating contrasting shapes, forms and structures.
The interrelationship between conceptual thinking and spontaneous inspiration leads to the crossing of boundaries and merging of mediums, styles, and methods.
Leaving the two-dimensionality of the canvas by combining paint with a variety of materials such as paper, sand, or nails stimulates receptive and critical contemplation — the geometry of the plane encounters the challenge of a third dimension.
