About me

Jared Ailstock is a graduate in Fine Arts, capable of drawing everything. He specializes in portraits and has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the City University of New York where he received his first solo exhibition. In 1998, he had his first large-scale show at Bykert Gallery with paintings that are characterized by being an experimental figurative paintings using both realistic and figurative elements as well as incorporating within the same work various technical resources approach both in history of art and contemporary times.

Jared Ailstock considers himself a figurative painter, rather than a "Realist" in the formal sense of the word. He uses images as a pretext to be able to elucidate, and transform things, thus finding new findings and his own expressive technical resources. His work is built on multiple superimposed layers where each figure (the person or thing) takes up space on one layer while other layers are used as background support - creating an image with many overlapping parts.

As a painter, Ailstock has been dedicated to painting for more than 10 years and much of that time working in his studio in New York City. He has evolved both as a technique and as an understanding of painting, drawing mainly from the old masters and contemporary artists he admires. His references have changed over the years in parallel with his artistic progression- something that is most apparent in his current work.
