Born in 1980 in New York City, Jason Bereswill received a BFA from the Ringling College of Art and Design in 2002 and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2005, where he was awarded an NYAA Postgraduate Fellowship upon graduation. He is currently based in Lambertville, New Jersey, where he co-founded the MarthaMOCA artist residency. Bereswill brings his deep interest in nature, sports, travel, and art history to life in his vibrant landscape paintings. His landscapes capture the colors, light, and energy of a place in its entirety, fully immersing the viewer and evoking a sense of being within the painting. Some of his works depict vast scenes from a panoramic view, while others feature parts of a landscape, removing it from its context and presenting it as a single, magnified point. In recent works, the figures depicted in the landscapes play a significant role in developing the narrative of the work within a meticulously constructed setting.
