Jordana Rae Gassner Portfolios

On Your Path

Wishing you marvelous surprises, comforting assurances of truth and constant trust in that all is love.

Active Engagement in our World

“In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Every individual has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become actively engaged.” ~H.H. the Dalai Lama

New Works

“I am too conscious of the imperfections of the species to which I belong to be irritated against any member thereof. My remedy is to deal with the wrong wherever I see it, not to hurt the wrongdoer; even as I would not like to be hurt for the wrongs I continually do.” ~Mohandas K. Gandhi

On the work of Jordana Rae Gassner

by Vanessa Souli, Arts Manager and Curator

Imagining Harmony

"The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn't agreeing with someone. It's enjoying your disagreements with them. Harmony is the pleasing arrangement of different tones, voices, or instruments, not the combination of identical sounds. Creative tension makes beautiful music." -Adam Grant

Remembrance

"When the ego mind for whatever reason is able to tempt me out of love, to convince me that in that moment that person did not deserve love, for whatever reason i shut my heart, I manifest a world that is not loving that is not peaceful that is painful for me that is painful for others. That is the ego mind and that is called hell." -Marianne Williamson

Life Waters

"Love is the water of life. Drink it down with heart and soul." - Rumi

Randomness and unpredictability

What makes an artwork sing to you?

Giorgio de Chirico's Footsteps

SAFE WORK. When and how does an artist get convinced what they are doing is wrong? Unfruitful? Not what the public wants? And so on. And why it is important we listen to our own hearts/inner direction.

Just some thought nibbles on what traveling does for me; to relax, inspire, motivate.

Contra

Through opposing force we grow.

To Chill or not to Chill

Taking a break? Nah! Just refocus on what nourishes.

Constraints and Challenges

Working at not freaking out over the new.

Mini, unintentional, Interventions

MarshallTerrence has written, "intervention art is simply using the world around us as a sort of “recycling” project to up-cycle it into art, just like turning old clothes into new items. Like ripping your jeans up to give them a more grungy look or painting on them."

THIS Way

Direction in LIFE

Alles war mir zu Eng

As artists, we must create. When we don't create, we are not artists

The Most Romantic Notions are often True

The drying aka oxidizing times of oil paintings varies. Most would say, however, that they are thoroughly "dry" after about 100 years. Soooo romantic.

When creating art, be courageous in changing something that may already be "finished", may already be "published", but may not yet have found a new home aka "sold." (or you just don't like the way it looks/feels.

Photoshoot with local photographer Andreas Fuchs

Looking back at Top 99 Regensburg photoshoot with Claudia Niebauer and Andreas Fuchs (the talented photographer)

In Favor of the -tych

Over-sized, gigantic artworks on wood, canvas or other supports is not always practical, even though the visual impact is often impressive. For those who wish to fill up more wall space, however, while adhering to ease of transport or hanging, polyptychs could be the creative answer.
