A View From the Easel

Jason Rohlf, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

My Loft Law-protected studio is located in a heavily redeveloped portion of Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s waterfront. It’s been my home and workspace for 23 years and the ever-changing neighborhood has become a constant reminder to be grateful for this creative space. Two long tables form the heart of the studio and daily piles of upcycled shop rag paintings invite the start of every morning. Work in progress is everywhere allowing for visual cross-pollination to happen. Studio plants hug the window and are constant inspiration. Natural phenomena appear in nearly every work and I like to think of the space as a field outpost for gathering observations both real and imagined.
