Artist Spotlight


Jason Kowalski

Awarded 2024 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant

Kowalski’s work is far more than mere visual documentation of a past era’s roadside architecture. Though he wasn’t born yet when most of what he paints was full of the hopes and dreams of an era - when the “no vacancy” signs of motels along Old Route 66 lit up and the Holbrook Inns of now empty towns were jammed at night - somehow Kowalski intuits in his paintings of what remains of these edifices of Americana, the soul of a vital time and the folk that lived in it. He evokes that very spirit in his light-filled and affectionate treatment of the tangible remnants of what otherwise is merely memory and story.
