Jake Beauchamp
HomeBeauchamp Art Studio
The vibrant abstract paintings of Jake Beauchamp are inspired by a sporadic range of human emotions. Beauchamp transmits his feelings to canvas through a method of painting he calls "Fluid acrylics." He mixes paint with water, paint thinner, or mineral spirits to produce a thin flowing consistency he then applies the paint to his canvas using palette knives or his hands and fingers. Beauchamp's technique imbues each painting with immediate texture, where explosive swaths of paint are juxtaposed with gestural lines or delicate forms. This process generates a sense of movement that mirrors the fluidity of human emotion. This artist selects colors for each painting based on his present emotional state, and every inch of the canvas becomes charged with immediacy. Drawing on the traditions of Abstract Expressionism, Beauchamp's painting's are also open to the viewers' visual interpretations.
I am a self-taught artist/ 2 years ACC Art and Design, and have been creating artwork for over 20+ years and over those years the techniques, styles and mediums have changed and evolved for my art. I don't just have one specific style or technique I concentrate on, I have many to choose from. "If I can get a viewer to feel an emotional attachment to my art, then I have succeeded"- Jake Beauchamp.
I participate in several art shows in the Denver area, including fundraisers, donations to specifics foundations and organizations, and other art shows in surrounding areas. I continue to broaden my styles and techniques and am currently working to commission pieces as well as sell my current artwork. Beauchamp Art studios continues to generate new ideas and new ways of the creation process to adapt techniques of abstract painting to modern art with his own vision.
