Jason Vivona currently resides in
Providence, RI where he paints and draws on paper, then cuts it up,
stains it with wine or coffee or tea or whatever he is drinking, then
sews it all back together. The end result being a completely
cohesive, realized quilted image, often laced with curtural reference
and satirism.
His work has been exhibited
in numerous galleries across the United States, Japan and Mexico,
such as 111 MINNA, Museo de la Cuidad de Mexico, White Walls
Gallery, The Museum of New Art,New Accident Gallery, and Vitale Gallery.
Vivona’s work has been
published in Juxtapoz, Transworld Skateboarding, WARP, DIW,
Skyscraper, RELAX, Portland FunBook 3 and many more.
Vivona directs a portion of
his energy to freelance design. In the past he’s worked for such
companies as Consolidated Skateboards, Fuel TV, Arena Rock Recording
Co., Innes Clothing, and Converse. Currently he is producing work for
Nike 6.0, Volcom, Concrete Company (Spain), Altamont Apparel, LSR
Skateboards, Welcome Skateboards and Drop City Productions acting as
