Three Clippings

Jonas Wood (b. 1977) is a contemporary Los-Angeles based artist known for his graphic and colorful depictions of portraits, interiors, plants and still lifes. His subjects are his immediate surroundings - family and friends, domestic and studio spaces, tabletop arrangements of his wife Shio Kusaka’s ceramic vessels and plants, landscapes, and sport scenes. “Three Clippings” is a suite of prints Wood created as his first collaboration with Mixographia - a workshop specializing in the Mixographia printing technique that produces prints in relief for texture and dimensionality. The three images were derived from Wood’s clipping series, in which he ‘clipped’ plant imagery from previous works and re-contextualized them as isolated subjects. These works are created with layered leaves and overlapping petals that protrude from the surface in a low relief. Today, Jonas Wood’s works reside in the permanent collections of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Saatchi Gallery in London, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others.
