Jason Gillihan is a contemporary artist based in Portland, Oregon, known for his expansive, emotive works on raw canvas. His practice centers on the tactile relationship between acrylic and unprimed surfaces, often working on a massive scale—from 12”x12” intimate studies to 10’x10’ statement pieces.

Gillihan’s style blends spontaneity with a deliberate focus on mood, utilizing techniques like acrylic ink washes and aerosol to capture what he describes as "inner peace and a new perspective on living". Frequently collaborating with other creators and local studios, his work is a testament to the belief that "it’s always NOW," recording specific moments in time through layers of paint and personal messages hidden on the reverse of his canvases.
