Artists Bio
Jon Segan studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY.
Although he graduated in 1977, he did not start making art until 2006. It was during those years that he acquired
the skills and experiences necessary to do his work which involves painting,
sculpture, and assemblage.
Outside of his studio work, Jon is an active member of the
arts community of the Glens Falls region, volunteering his time to galleries,
museums, and arts groups. His work has been shown regionally in solo and group
exhibitions, and is in numerous private collections.
Artist Statement
In my work I usually combine painting and sculpture with
objects, fitting them together spatially into boxes that I construct. I paint
and sculpt in a straightforward manner to best achieve harmony between the two-dimensional
image and the three-dimensional form.
The coming together of the different elements allows the work to become
first image, then object, and ultimately a blending of the two. This merging allows me the role of the
artist, craftsperson, and finally witness.
