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

“ReGAL” - “What’s regal about you? What’s regal about me? What makes us regal is not a title or material possessions but how you feel on the inside that resonates outward to the world that reflects in your stance, your walk and stare. This piece show’s how the regal beauty of one’s soul is transmitted through the eyes. How are you transmitting what's regal about you to the world?”

“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.
