Biography

 

  • Born in Toronto, Canada, Jason Boyd Kinsella started painting again in 2019 after a 30 year hiatus, currently based in Oslo, Norway.

    Unveiling mankind’s psychological makeup lies at the heart of Kinsella’s practice. In his work, he breaks down the personality traits of his characters into distinct geometric units whose shape, colour and size define their individuality based on the Myers-Briggs personality test, anchoring his subjects in the essence of their psychological attributes. If the clean surface of his paintings may recall the Old Masters’ works, his aesthetic and methods are resolutely contemporary.
