✊🏿The Vessel✊🏿
The Vessel is a 36” x 48” canvas painting I did as part of my earlier body of work. It sold many years ago but I am re-sharing to introduce it to a new audience who may not be familiar with my legacy work.
The VESSEL… pays tribute to the idea that the human-body is our physical vessel designed to carry us through life’s journey. It serves as our temple of strength, a barrier of protection to all external threats. But most importantly while on our human-journey, it provides safe transport on our for our most precious and sacred cargo – a human✨Soul ✨
In these challenging times it’s a reminder to take care of yourself and others. Our mental and physical health is of paramount importance now more than ever. Be good to your vessel because you only have☝🏽.
Medium: 36” x 48” acrylic on canvas - SOLD.
For limited-edition print inquiry send a DM in my LinkinBIO! ✨👌🏽

Roots emerge as a cascading crown down his head giving credence his ancestral royalty rooted within him.”

“SaMO” State of Mind - is my tribute to the iconic New York visionary artist Jean Michele Basquiat who shined his light on the world under the Artist street name of SaMO” (Same-O). SaMO is a graffiti tag originally used on the streets of New York City from 1978 to 1980. The tag, written with a copyright symbol as “SAMO©”, and pronounced “Same-Oh” is primarily associated with the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, but was originally developed as a collaboration between Basquiat and his friend and collaborator Al Diaz.
The SAMO tag accompanied short phrases, which were poetic and satirical advertising slogans, mainly spray painted on the streets of downtown Manhatten. Basquiat eventually used the tag himself, creating some non-graffiti work on paper and canvas using that tag, after killing off the SAMO graffiti by painting “SAMO© IS DEAD” around the streets of downtown.

MEET THE ARTIST 🎨 _____ ✍🏽 my name isn Jason O’Brien and I am a Canadian born artist living in Toronto fascinated by telling a stories without words through my artworks, capturing the imagination of viewers through soulful, introspective themes of the human condition that explore love, spirituality, vulnerability, strength, connectedness and the awesome resiliency of the human spirit to propel us to incredible things. My work primarily draws from various aspects Black-Afrocentric culture, history, literature, music, fashion and pop-culture translated through the heroic subjects used to communicate my concepts. My work is produced using vibrant rich acrylic paints and mixed media on large canvas as well as incorporating the awesome power of digital to help enhance and produce my emotionally provocative works.
I invite viewers on a journey with me to examine my interpretations of what I believe make us “Beautifully Human” and it is my ultimate hope that in my work, you will see pieces of yourself reflected back.
Thank you for your support!! ✨🙏🏽✨

“CHI” ✨ - “The cosmic current that flows through all living things connects her to nature’s magnificence and and she to it. The rhythm of her heartbeat touched by the universe, synchronizes her humanity to Mother Nature’s splendour and in this very moment she is most alive.”
With its roots in traditional Chinese culture, Chi (also spelled qi) refers to the vital life force or energy that runs through all living beings. It is the essence of existence that flows through each of us, uniting the body, mind and spirit. It is what makes us alive.
