Activity
You may have received a “junk” message from Jasper Vassie or perhaps you’ve seen some of his street art, pop-up exhibitions or other guerrilla publicity. However you’ve arrived here you’re seeing a small part of a big plan and a big career.
Jasper Vassie wants to create a direct link between his artwork and the people who like it. To do this Jasper has committed to a programme of creative and unique awareness campaigns to find and build an audience.
Jasper has been creating artwork for several years but has only recently set out to find an audience. If you would like to be a part of this please contact the studio to see what drawings we have for sale or visit our online shop.
Jasper has now decided to approach the art-world on his own terms. Dealing directly with his audience through his own platform and selling work for a fraction of the process typically charged by most artists. This more direct approach is allowing the promotion and proliferation of Jasper’s work without the usual pretentiousness, moderation or compromise usually associated with the creation and commercialisation of art.
This new, direct, approach is allowing Jasper to continue to create at the rate and in the manner that best suits his creative needs. The immediate connection between collectors and the artist that this unconventional e-commerce model fosters is forging a powerful artistic dynamic new to both the artist and the art-world in general.
Jasper spent more than a decade creating drawings and paintings but was thoroughly uninterested in making this work publicly available. Now the archive contains hundreds if not thousands of pieces and Jasper continues to create more work daily.
This high-output creative method has generated an almost autobiographical record of ten years living and working in the UK. The ups, the downs, the wins the losses and these artworks are filtering into this site with new work added regularly.
In addition to the vast archive, Jasper continues to create daily. Sometimes producing multiple smaller work and sometimes focussing on longer-term projects. Always changing, always experimenting and finally sharing his work through this website.
New work and the archive
Jasper Vassie’s work is simple, playful and strange. He mixes text and image freely and achieves an unusual cartoony ambiguity that is at once darkly funny and oddly unsettling.
The work on this site is a combination of work from the archive and new pieces. Most of the work is signed and dated and all pieces are entirely original and unique.
If you’re ready to start your collection you can head over to our shop to see what’s available right now. If you still need convincing on why investing in original artwork from Jasper Vassie you can see our page on why to buy. As ever, if you have any questions please get in touch.
Did you receive a letter?
The “Junk Mail” 2022 project contains 500 hand-drawn images.
But why not charge more?
Most artists wouldn’t dream of selling their work as cheaply as you’ll find it on this site. The simple truth is that the extortionate prices, in many cases, commanded by modern artists are there to drive exclusivity and provide implicit proof of the work’s value. On this site, you’ll find real original artwork from a real artist being sold at street-corner prices. Jasper will keep his prices as low as possible while we can keep pace with orders. As demand rises we will raise prices. This eventual price raise will, of course, benefit existing collectors.
