I Am by Jason Franklin

I Am by Jason Franklin

The “I AM” exhibit is a chronicle about the presence of GOD within all of us. In this body of work, I attempted to show glimpses of God’s glory and love through people, relationships, and color. I composed quiet visual stories that reflect and imitate the great “I AM’s” love. Many of the titles are completed with a simple description or affirmation such as I AM Happy, I AM My Sister’s Keeper. I use personal moments about family and friends, along with a few historic figures, to visually demonstrate our connection with the great I AM. In many of the works, there is literal radiation or illumination that abounds throughout the surface and compositions. Most importantly, these works were created to give the viewer a feeling of the moment or relationship. Over the years, I have been inspired by artists like Barkley Hendricks, Charles Joyner, John Biggers, and Lope Max Diaz. I am truly fascinated with the portrait, relationships, and history. This work affirms our humanity and our community. I hope that you enjoy these reflective visual moments and interconnected relationships.

Jose Cruz

Urban Cultural Footprints embodies the artistic journey that artist José Manuel Cruz
takes through his life growing up in the urban city of Newark, NJ otherwise know as

journey one step at a time by juxtaposing his unique urban style with classical

lines in his designs
