Interview with Jayson Maul\u00e9<\/h3>\r\n

I interviewed Jayson Maul\u00e9 on the occasion of his show at Cruise Control Cambria<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Q: First of all, I\u2019m curious about the title of your show, \u201868-95-99.7\u2019.\u00a0 Can you talk a little about where this came from and how it relates to your work?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jayson Maul\u00e9:<\/span><\/strong> \u201868-95-99.7\u2019 is an empirical formula for data sets, think mean or average. The title is a reflection of the norm I experienced growing up in my sleepy hometown, where I currently live; and working out of my childhood home.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Then overcoming that convention through action and reaction, the work itself has become almost like an act of defiance against that standard formula. It\u2019s like my declaration of freedom against what I felt growing up.<\/p>\r\n

Which was exciting and bizarre coming to that realization, to see how much environment truly affects me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Q: The declaration of freedom acts as a marker for change.\u00a0 How would you describe your relationship to the environment that you grew up in? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Jayson Maul\u00e9:<\/span><\/strong> A few words to describe my relationship to the environment could be; quiet, solitary, still, bittersweet maybe(?). Sense of community has definitely or greatly been instilled in me here. And I am so so lucky to have grown up where I have, and yet I know it won\u2019t last forever; because I know what has come and gone. The word fleeting feels closest right now.<\/p>\r\n

Q: In what ways has your environment influenced the paintings in the show? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Jayson Maul\u00e9:<\/span><\/strong> I feel like there are three distinctions within my environment. There\u2019s the suburbs, my childhood home, and the backyard. I feel like suburbia became the formality that my work can tend towards. My backyard has shown me subtlety, how to be grand and also understated via the natural landscape. My childhood home has afforded me that childlike curiosity and\/or wonder; to mix and master the environment(s) as I see fit.<\/p>\r\n

I feel like this environment has been the groundwork for me as a whole.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Q:\u00a0 So these three components coalesce into new environments, which are the paintings?\u00a0 I see\u00a0 Breach as a natural interior, like a cave with markings on the wall.\u00a0 Is this something you were thinking about as you were making the painting?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Jayson Maul\u00e9:<\/span><\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s true! The components coalesce into the new environments which are the paintings. Wow. It\u2019s funny you say that, I wasn\u2019t totally cognizant of that when making the work, but I do think that wall mark making is deeply seeded in my psyche or something. Like some sort of spy sleeper code.<\/p>\r\n

Q: Sometimes things happen in painting that you\u2019re not aware of until much later, it takes time to become clear.\u00a0 What\u2019s important is to remain aware and let things happen rather than trying to interject ideas into painting.\u00a0 In other words, let the work develop and listen to it along the way.\u00a0 It\u2019s likely to become the deepest relationship you\u2019ll ever have.\u00a0 Thinking about it in this way means accepting that your paintings will change as you change and more often than not, that change will be unfamiliar and fraught.\u00a0 Clarity takes time.\u00a0 What periods in art history are you interested in?\u00a0 Are there any artists who have influenced you? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jayson Maul\u00e9:<\/span><\/strong> Some periods in art history that I am interested in include (but are not limited to) are: Art Nouveau, Naturalism, Impressionism, Pop Art, Manga, Comic Art. Many artists who have influenced me or worked on me include: Cher\u00e9t, Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha,<\/p>\r\n

Caspar David Friedrich, Ilya Repin, Van Gogh, Lichtenstein, Miyazaki, Araki, Yoshitaka Amano, Jim Lee \u2026 I feel the list could keep going and going!<\/p>\r\n

Also I know, similarly, that Pok\u00e9mon and The Legend of Zelda series has had a great influence on me from a young age. As well as other video games that are very sentimental to me like; The Last of Us, Kingdom Hearts and Jak and Daxter.<\/p>\r\n

That awareness or clarity that you\u2019re speaking of has, in fact, become the deepest relationship to myself I have found. And it almost feels like I\u2019ve been discovering more of it\/myself, recently. Clarity does take time.<\/p>\r\n

Navigating the intricate web of relationship, places, and ideas, Jayson seeks to encapsulate a personal truth through his abstract works. A recent graduate of PCPA's Professional Actor Training Program and an attendee of Portland State University's Graphic Design Program, he continually evolves his craft.<\/p>\r\n

His works have been featured in exhibitions at Cruise Control Cambria (Cambria, CA), Lonely Palm Ranch (Huasna, CA), Linnaea\u2019s Cafe (Slo, CA), San Luis Obispo\u2019s Art After Dark (Slo, CA), and HMVC Gallery (NY, NY). Additionally, he has been recognized in publications such as Slo Life Magazine (Dec\/Jan '23 Issue) and Guts Zine (Late 2023), furthering his impact in the contemporary art scene. His ability to navigate both the visual and performing arts adds a distinctive layer to his artistic narrative.<\/p>\r\n

Charles Smith founded the Cruise Control Contemporary gallery in November of 2021. The space focuses on solo shows for California artists of all disciplines and is equidistant from both Los Angeles and San Francisco. The physical central coast location draws on the attention and attraction of the larger art markets while retaining the freedom to play and celebrate the best of overlooked and underserved California artists. After managing private large scale commissions in New York and assisting a prominent art advisor the move to a more manageable and accessible space was a natural reaction to the heightened outside influence and the shuttering of mid tier Los Angeles art spaces in the post pandemic landscape.<\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
