Jason Litts - Waterfall and Hand Tree
Jason Litts (JL)
Oil on stretched canvas, signed and dated lower left “JL 8-99.”
Dimensions: [Insert dimensions if known] (unframed)
Condition: Good, no damage.
An early work of surreal anatomical abstraction, this piece combines the fluid forms of the human body with natural elements. In the foreground, the muscular back and leg of a figure stretch across the canvas, reaching toward a cascading waterfall that merges with the figure’s form. Below, a surreal hand rises from a calm pool, its fingers forming a natural pedestal for a twisted, barren tree. The cool blue of the water contrasts with the warm, earthy tones of the body and rocks, creating a striking interplay of texture and symbolism. The painting reflects Jason Litts’ early exploration of transformation, endurance, and the unity of body and nature.
Artist Biography:
Jason Litts is an autodidactic surrealist painter whose works are deeply inspired by the natural majesty and atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest. For over two decades, he has crafted emotionally resonant, dreamlike compositions that draw on memories, fragments of dreams, and unspoken emotional currents. His art is known for faceless figures, symbolic landscapes, and narratives that encourage personal interpretation.
Litts’ work has been exhibited in prominent galleries including The Broderick Gallery and The Ford Gallery in Portland, Oregon; Art at the Cave and Corridor Gallery in Vancouver, Washington; and the Rio Grande Fine Art Gallery in Las Cruces, New Mexico. In 2025, his triptych Beyond the Grasp was showcased in the acclaimed “Fluid Depth” exhibition at the Rebecca Anstine Gallery. His achievements include a Merit Award at the 2023 Anacortes Art Festival and participation in the Clark County Open Studio Tour, where his work was praised for its introspective depth and striking technical execution.
Known for his layered glazing techniques and bold contrasts of color and form, Litts’ paintings transcend literal representation, evoking emotions and questions that feel both deeply personal and universally human.
