Jason Chase is a Boston-based painter known for his bright pop-inflected work. His paintings are often very large and filled with imagery of consumer goods, toys and other items from his suburban upbringing. Although he has accomplished a wide body of work, he is easily most recognized for his series of Weeble paintings, based on the poplar toy first produced in 1971. He also created the popular electric box painted to look like a giant box of popcorn in the center of Davis Square in Somerville, Massachusetts.
Jason Chase grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he attended University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and relocated to Massachusetts in 2001 to receive his MFA from Boston University. He has shown his work extensively in Colorado and in Massachusetts, as well as in New York and Los Angeles.
About his work, Jason Chase has this to say:
"I was raised by a television in suburban America -- tuned in to all the big, bold, shiny things being sold in big, bold, shiny commercials. One of my first memories is the colors of the cereal aisle flashing by as I rode in my mom’s grocery cart. I still see things this way. I’m more likely to notice an ad on the side of the highway than the forest behind it.
What has become visual white noise to most people is what I’m interested in. This is what America really looks like: strip malls full of franchises, endless arrays of products and packaging … anything to isolate us from the unfamiliar. I think that these mundane things that have so completely saturated our lives have inherent moments of value. Painting them shows us something about who we are, what our values are, and what’s surprisingly acceptable and eerily beautiful."
