Artist Jason Dussault's Acclaimed 'KICKBACK' Series to Commence Global Tour in San Francisco April 25th, 2019
Following a series of successful showings for 'KICKBACK' at Art Fairs in Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles; Jason Dussault and Axiom Contemporary Santa Monica are proud to announce 'KICKBACK THE WORLD TOUR'. As a homage to a selection of his favorite sneakers growing up, Jason has taken his unique application of mosaic tile-work and applied the medium to a range of classic kicks.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The success and buzz created by Jason Dussault's sold out 'KICKBACK' exhibit at Miami's Art Basel has inspired a world tour starting at Art Market San Francisco on April 25th through 28th, 2019.
The work will then travel to the Hong Kong Art Fair on May 17th through 19th, 2019, followed by Art Market Hamptons, Art Aspen, and The Seattle Art Fair with more dates announced closer to openings.
Jason also announced he will be creating new original works for each show as a tribute to the specific region that will reflect local culture. For San Francisco, Jason created two works inspired by the legendary and iconic sports teams: the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Raiders.
Sneakers have long been considered functional pieces of art and rightfully so. A blend of colorways, material, and design has made them not only utilitarian but also visually striking. Despite being worldwide, the sneaker culture is still closely knit.
Although the word KICKBACK evokes feelings of relaxation and calmness, by reimagining an item of comfort and function, Jason Dussault has yet again taken familiar terminology and turned it on its head. KICKBACK is not only a show for sneakerheads but is indeed a commentary on one of the most influential and inspiring movements in pop culture.
Jason Dussault stated, "I am humbled and appreciative by the support I have received from both new and past collectors, and from the galleries like Axiom Contemporary who provide me with the opportunity to showcase my creations. Being a child of the 70's and 80's pop culture has provided me with such a powerful inspiration to base my creations on. I am blessed that my supporters have joined me on this addiction to create a new take on the iconic designs form my childhood."

About Jason Dussault
The world's most impactful art is born from the expression of internal struggle. Jason Dussault has wielded the power of that understanding and has channeled that energy through nostalgic iconography. Jason creates an homage to one of the most primitive yet connected mediums in art history, the mosaic. By combining tile, paint, grout, resin and vintage porcelain, Jason has re-envisioned a 4,000-year-old craft that has spawned masterpieces and has made it his own. A true labor of love, Jason's pieces are created over a two- to four-week process which he navigates on his own accord, free from assistants or interns. His dedication, curiosity, and sacrifice have culminated in humbleness – the true mark of an artist. The artist has an impressive list of accomplishments and collaborations including: a commission by FC Barcelona, a sold-out solo show in NYC hosted by the late Glenn O'Brian (editor of Interview Magazine and Warhol factory member), a one-month Artist-in-Residency at Ruschmeyer's Hotel in Montauk, an invitation to host an artist workshop at the Soho House members club NYC, production of the reality TV show Dussault Inc., creation of the iconic Dussault Hoodies, a partnership with KISS' Gene Simmons, and an Indy Car collaboration.
Jason Dussault is represented by Hoerle-Guggenheim Contemporary Art Gallery in NYC, by Axiom Contemporary in California, and by Maddox Gallery in Mayfair, London.
