The contrast of chaos with order provides the structure for my work. The appearance of order breaks down under scrutiny, which mirrors my understanding of reality. My emotions seek pattern and rationality, while my intellect sees mismatched parts and ambiguous systems. The core of my work revolves around juxtaposing these diverse structures and their uncertain references.

A full-time artist with 50+ years of working experience, Jay Zerbe continues to create original abstract work inStudio as well as developing and instructing art courses and hosting webCasts on artistVenu.
