Jaccola

Artist by dusk, mortgage banker by dawn, Jaccola (Jason Accola) is a contemporary pop and conceptual artist from from Chicago, Illinois. Jaccola (pronounced “Jack-ah-lah”) largely draws from his childhood psyche, which was heavily influenced by pop culture, history, cinema, music, comedy and especially MTV. He also employs his schooling in art history to tie elements of old and contemporary masterworks that have drawn his eye and shaped his path. Structuring each piece, Jason seeks to incorporate methods of negative space, mixed media, depth and diagonals, and strives to juxtaposition images that evoke thought and conversation. Each work has it’s own story, many humorous, and Jason enjoys sharing these stories with the viewer. A graduate of the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Jason also received a Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship to Oxford University in Oxford, England where he sharpened his focus on contemporary art.
