When I first saw the work of Jason Mclean I immediatly thought of some kind of surrealist work.
Jason Mclean "Rosehips and Bullwhips"
His style is obviously much looser and free than the early famous surrealists, but something about it just connects in my mind - perhaps the mass amounts of hidden symbolism. I feel like Jason Mclean poors his entire story into his drawings, everything that is on his mind at any given time. Rosehips, elephants, clowns, big ears, captains, B.C.. Who really can understand the way that anyone thinks? I know sometimes I will be talking to my best friends and have to stop for a second just because I have no idea how the conversation got to where it was or where either of our minds just took it - but I know it went somewhere very very weird. Like peanuts to everest to arkansas butler trade. Who really knows?
