Jason Karolak works in two scales. His small scale paintings, as seen here, are about 16 inches across, while his large ones range from 46 to 90 inches wide. I was more intrigued by the intimacy of his small scale work, which bring a hand painted humbleness to geometrics that could otherwise look stark and super graphic. In the world of print design, a hand done look always softens and balances geometric form, lending a human touch so needed in our increasingly technology-filled world.
