Jason Godeke: Surrogates Jason Godeke’s recent paintings explore theatrical narratives dealing with themes such as the nuclear family and eschatology (the body of religious doctrines concerning the human soul in its relation to death, judgment, heaven, and hell.) Exhibition Artist Statement and Images: Surrogates by Jason Godeke "I have maintained a productive artistic relationship with toys for many years now. In some of the recent works, I’ve looked to the local newspaper for narrative material, relying on headlines for inspiration. I rarely read the accompanying story; I’m more interested in the broad and unspecific potential of the simple declarative statement: “Man Stabs Self,” for example. Without knowing any details of the story, I’m able to reenact a basic plot-line, inventing my own environment, props, and protagonists. The headline functions as the prompt for a visual fiction. My drawn or painted narrative is sometimes an unlikely match with the original “title” of the story. The nuances of my visual story spring from the studio experience: a perceptual interaction with still-life material, narrative experimentation (auditions, rehearsals, set and production design) using a variety of possible “players” and props, and, finally, the development of form and illusion in the painting itself."
