Gesso Panels
Gesso Panels are dynamic mixed media works that are very special pieces of art. Technically considered a form of low relief sculpture, CJ masterfully integrates a variety of disparate materials into a unified work. Gesso panels go well beyond mere painting and create a sculptural work of art that enhances any wall or architectural environment. The most common comment we hear about CJ’s Gesso Panels is that they are so complex that there is something new to explore upon each viewing.
Working in mixed media has long been a hallmark of CJ’s art. Prone to taking materials out of their original contest, CJ prides himself on making materials such as paper, copper, ceramic, even electronic components do what they ordinarily would not do. In his Gesso panels, he explores mixed media materials to a highly sophisticated degree creating lyrical works of art that unite line and plane, relief and color into wholly integrated heirloom quality and beautiful works of art.
