Paradis contemplates some of the great mysteries of existence,
the nature of time, the relationship of past, present, and
future, the extent of the universe, its vastness and that which
is in our immediate vicinity but beyond our perception. He has
developed a visual language while contemplating the night skies
of Northern Canada in extensive camping trips throughout his
life. The mingling of memories of the past with current
experience and anticipation of the future, the juxtaposition of
intimacy and vastness has led to a layered approach in both the
meaning and implementation of his work.
Paradis’ work has been exhibited internationally and throughout
the US. Closer to home he has shown in numerous galleries
throughout Long Island and the metropolitan area including White
Columns in NYC, the Omni Gallery, Uniondale and the Staller
Center for the Performing Arts in Stony Brook. His solo
exhibitions include “Small Works” at the Islip Art Museum in
2006
Born in Ontario, Canada Jason now lives in Glenwood Landing, NY.
He received a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts Degree from Queen’s
University, Ontario. He earned a Master’s of Fine Arts Degree in
1998 from Stony Brook where he is currently on the faculty
teaching drawing and painting.
