"Filtered through time, sound, and lived experience, the work expresses a sense of nostalgia not to a specific era but rather to the things (people, music) that have left a positive imprint. Working primarily from photographic sources-both personal and found-Rochester selects, crops, and alters images much like a music producer isolates and mixes beats or chords. He builds his compositions through a combination of sketches, gouache studies, digital manipulation, and an oil painting technique inspired by Titian, in which layers of colour are glazed over a monochromatic underpainting."
"Shared history and culture as well as familial love and care can endure through images that continue to echo across generations. Input/Output ultimately presents painting as an act of translation-where memory becomes image, sound reverberates through line and color, and personal history expands into a collective experience. "Input/Output" is on display at Plato gallery from January 16th to March 7th."
Jacob Rochester creates paintings that explore familial ties and intergenerational connection through music, using a range from photorealism to gestural mark making. The work filters time, sound, and lived experience to express nostalgia tied to people and music rather than a specific era. Rochester works from personal and found photographs, selecting, cropping, and altering images similar to a music producer isolating and mixing beats. Compositions develop through sketches, gouache studies, digital manipulation, and an oil technique inspired by Titian, glazing layers of colour over a monochromatic underpainting. The exhibition Input/Output presents painting as translation where memory, sound, and personal history expand into collective experience and is on display at Plato gallery January 16 to March 7.
