Welcome to my website! My name is Jason Robichau and for the past seven years I have been pursuing a career that incorporates two of my passions: sports and art. I have always been fascinated with recreating athletes that have the ability to captivate and inspire millions of people on a daily basis. Over the years I have come up with a unique style of painting that truly captures the essence of these athletes. With each painting, there are hours upon hours of work breaking down the athlete to find out the intricacies that define that athlete. My paintings incorporate elements of mosaic and perspective to achieve a form of realism that I call illusionism. With tiny hand-painted squares, I fashion works that change from collage to image as one moves away from them. In addition to my illusionism style, I have also begun working in a style of using metallic gold and bronze paint that gives my artwork and modern yet timeless feel. I hope that you enjoy the tour of my website and I hope that you will email me your comments on my artwork.
Sincerely,
Illusionism consists of three-quarter inch squares. The squares are hand-painted with four to eight different colors encompassing each square. Each square has been described as a painting within itself. From up close the paintings are a collage of colors but as you move approximately three feet away, the paintings resemble a photograph. Depending on the size of the painting, there are anywhere from 70 to 100 different colors. In addition, there are 40 to 80 hours of painting involved in creating one of these truly unique paintings.
As an artist, I have always believed that I should use my God-given talents to help others. Over the past few years, I have teamed up with a number
of charity events and fundraisers around the country benefitting causes such as ALS, cancer research, foster care, etc... By auctioning off original paintings, giclee prints of my artwork, and lithographs, my artwork has raised over $400,000 for these worthy causes. If you are a non-profit or are hosting a charity event, please feel free to contact the studio to find out how
we can team up to raise funds for your cause. Below are some of the options:
Auctioning off an original or print:
When auctioning one of my originals or prints, I set the minimum bid at a price to cover my costs. Anything bided over the minimum bid goes directly to the charity.
Selling a limited number of prints:
During the live or silent auction, you can sell a limited number of prints at a specified price. A large percentage of each sale goes to the charity and the remainder goes to the studio.
Use an original or print as a raffle item:
Use an original or print as the marquee item for a raffle contest. A portion of the raffle goes to cover the costs of the painting/print.
I accept private commissions on a regular basis. If interested in commissioning a portrait, or any other commissioned painting, artwork or design , please contact me through this site's email, jasonrobichau_hotmail.com. Prices are based on the style of painting (illusionism or metallic), size of painting, and number of subjects. Estimated quotes are given free of charge.
There is most often a waiting period of at least two months, so interested inquiries should be sent well ahead of time for desired completion of work. Artwork can be worked out from approved jpeg photos emailed direct or from several life sittings with subject.
