When we talk about artistic expression, we must be aware of the fact that man in his eternal pursuit of creating and practically applying art, Ari Glass points out that at the very beginning of creating works of art and expressing their daily lives through it, this form was not yet appointed with the name by which we all know it today - art.
Surviving on the art scene has not been easy for the Seattle-born artist, and along the way, there were both ups and downs, as well as moment’s well he felt like giving up, but as a true fighter, he never did that. Every time Ari Glass decided to take some other direction, made a turn, he would once again found himself in the same situation, with a brush in his hand.
Later, he stopped to resist and accepted art as his gift, and as he was growing up, he got to appreciate this gift more and more. This is how he got featured in many art-related magazines and web news.
The impulse for creation was stronger than all of his other ventures in life, which in a way made his decision about becoming an artist that much easier. His vibrant, abbreviated brushstrokes and energetic use of color are in contrast to his much more somber palette and reserved framing in his oil paintings. Although Glass describes himself (and he truly is) a self-thought painter, from his latest exhibition in his hometown where he displayed his painting cycle in two-dimensionality, he knew that a bright feature awaits him in the world of art. The exhibition is just an example of his early painting beginnings and the need for oversized canvas and gold hues that represent royalty and divine.
Quite often you can find hints of his past influences in his paintings, as he is trying to reference some of the best old masters and then apply his magic touch. Ari Glass was so determined to give his best that he even goes by the name, the Picasso of the South End.
His community has also been a great inspiration to him, as well as art and art history.
