Jacob Kassay

Biography

Jacob Kassay is an artist best known for painting yet his education is in photography with a special interest in Film. Kassay takes iterative and repetitive approaches to the mechanics of Abstraction to thin the membrane between our corporeal and psychic selves; these tactics are situational and transient in their application so as to maintain a provisional relationship to form.
