BIO

Born and raised on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois, Jack Vonty (b. 1988) is known for his non conforming methods and diverse practice that encompasses paintings, works on paper, and sculptures. Working with a wide variety of materials, Vonty uses an unorthodox approach by using  any object or medium that stands in his way. Many of his sculptural works tend to incorporate relics from his childhood such as baseball bats, trophies, photographs, and numerous other keepsakes. Jack Vonty creates a visual language with his small to extra large abstract rendered canvases built up with the application of thick impasto paint then carved with bold or sometimes hidden memorandums. Vonty uses a non academic approach allowing his work to exude a raw sense of creativity with no boundaries. 

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is an expression of freedom that questions the world we live in. Each body of work depicts personal thoughts that scramble through the mind on a daily basis. By using a variety of mediums and unconventional techniques to create unique textures along with random text placement, I convey a story that allows the viewer to write the ending.
