In an art world that increasingly seeks work with meaning, depth and resonance, McDonald’s art probes and cultivates the notion of art as revelation, bringing focus to to the role of imagination in everyday perceptions and restoring a porosity between the imminent world and the transcendent other.
Jason McDonald was an international Graphic Designer and Creative Director for over 20 years. A long and personal exploration in spiritual practice and the nature of consciousness, has led him to additionally study brainwave states, neurobiology, classical philosophy,
the energetic field (including 4 yrs intensive study in energetic practitionership and the bio-energetic field), Physics & Quantum field theory, Anthroposophy, Tibetan and Korean Buddhism and teachings from other Wisdom and Mystery Traditions.
His artistic practice integrates spiritual philosophy and contemporary art to advance the dialogue between the visual and metaphysical realms and as resource for personal and collective evolution.
ARTIST STATEMENT
The world deserves more radiance. It is antithetical to the magnetized materiality that pervades culture. The opportunity to expand ourselves towards the radiant, rather than collapse further into a concretized, cold and disconnected version of reality is available to us. My art aims to lead the individual, through an expression of radiance and beauty, into the mystery, into the unknown, beyond the safety of our minds and towards the brightness and inspiration of the great void of creative energy and magnificence from which all life springs.
