{"title":"Jackson Lamme","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"90\" data-end=\"528\"\u003eJackson Lamme is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in 3D animation, digital painting, and oil painting. Originally from Canandaigua, New York, he is currently pursuing a degree in 3D Animation at the New York Film Academy and holds an Associate of Science degree in Business Administration. A U.S. Army veteran, Jackson served for six years at Fort Drum and in Baumholder, Germany before transitioning fully into the creative field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"530\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003eWith a background that includes time spent in Rochester, NY, and Tampa, FL, Jackson brings a wide range of lived experiences to his work. His art is rooted in surrealism and expressionism, often characterized by visually powerful, highly detailed compositions. Known for his independent thinking and unconventional approach, he frequently challenges assumptions—both through his creative practice and his personal philosophy.

Thousands of screws get drilled into a wood board very closely to each other but at different depths to create a sculptural relief of the image, where each screw head becomes a canvas. This steel canvas then gets painted over with a size-0 brush to mimic the actual image. Each final product is a true testament to craft, strength, and artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlthough Andrew is best known for his screw pieces, his work spans multiple genres and mediums, including sculpting, painting, and drawing. Every art piece is an experiment in art, mathematics and creative problem solving. Because Andrew’s artworks are very time and labor intensive, he only produces about 10-12 screw pieces a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew always continues to push the boundaries of his craft constantly searching for new subjects and unconventional mediums. His guiding principle is to create better art today than he did yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"city-cars","title":"City Cars","description":"Lamme’s \"City Cars\" is a moody, atmospheric study of urban chaos and fleeting moments, where the interplay of light, reflection, and motion transforms a familiar street scene into an almost cinematic experience. A dense layering of blurry headlights, slick reflections, and shadowy figures immerses the viewer in the sensory overload of a bustling city night—where cars, people, and architecture dissolve into an intricate tapestry of movement and light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe composition feels almost fractured and transient, as if capturing a single moment in the perpetual flow of urban life. The gleaming surfaces of the cars, distorted and fragmented, pulse with neon glows and the flickering of city lights, suggesting both the grit and allure of the metropolis. The figures in the foreground, loosely defined yet vibrant in their color patches, move through the scene like fleeting ghosts of modern existence—present, yet ephemeral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLamme’s painterly technique blurs the boundary between abstraction and realism, evoking the gritty energy of street photography while embracing a tactile, almost expressionist approach to texture. His deep blacks, electric yellows, and muted reds capture the pulse of the city after dark, recalling the nocturnal dynamism of artists like George Bellows or Edward Hopper—yet infused with a distinctly contemporary urgency. Lamme invites the viewer to lose themselves in the hypnotic repetition of headlights and faceless movement, reminding us that the city is alive, relentless, and ever in motion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/P4ozDO2OEng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P4ozDO2OEng\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Jackson Lamme","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645433667948,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/city-carssss-1_jpg.webp?v=1776881505"},{"product_id":"boy-in-garbage-heap","title":"Boy In Garbage Heap","description":"This powerful painting presents a striking juxtaposition of hope and decay, innocence and waste, forcing the viewer into a contemplative confrontation with human resilience amid environmental and societal neglect. The central figure—a boy perched among mountains of garbage bags—gazes upward, his expression tinged with a sense of wistful daydreaming, defiance, or quiet acceptance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRendered in a semi-realistic style, the painting uses a stark, almost monochromatic palette for the garbage bags, emphasizing their oppressive weight against the warm hues of the boy’s skin and clothing. His presence disrupts the bleak landscape, acting as a counterpoint to the surrounding refuse. The crisp blue sky above adds yet another layer of contrast—suggesting that, despite the suffocating reality of his environment, the possibility of something greater remains just beyond reach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bags themselves, painted with heavy, gestural strokes, feel almost sculptural, their glossy surfaces reflecting light like monuments to consumption and abandonment. The boy’s positioning—casual, almost comfortable in this unnatural setting—raises critical questions: Has he been discarded alongside society’s refuse? Or has he found a way to create meaning in a space that others have deemed worthless?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work is a poignant commentary on waste, displacement, and the overlooked individuals who exist within the margins of urban excess. It speaks to both social realism and existential introspection, inviting the viewer to reflect on privilege, survival, and the stark contrasts between hope and despair, wealth and waste. It is not just a scene, but a statement—one that lingers long after the viewer looks away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/nZdZN6xc88s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nZdZN6xc88s\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Jackson Lamme","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645434028396,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/Screenshot-2025-02-21-at-1_01_22-PM_png.webp?v=1776881506"},{"product_id":"gun-city","title":"Gun City","description":"\"Gun City\" unfolds as a chaotic, hyper-detailed vision of urban excess, decay, and power structures entangled in their own destruction.

Ghostly figures, mythic creatures, and fragmented icons from pop culture intermingle with ominous skulls and industrial machinery, suggesting a civilization built on conquest, conflict, and illusionary progress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA serpentine form—possibly representing power, destruction, or the cyclical nature of violence—weaves through the city, encircling figures that appear both celebratory and trapped. In the sky above, ominous winged beings loom, as if watching over the city’s fate, their expressions unreadable, their presence divine or damning. A large blue visage, partially hidden in the background, stares down at the city, an all-seeing force—perhaps a symbol of authority, surveillance, or the inescapable consequences of unchecked power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRendered with an almost obsessive attention to pattern, density, and color, the piece overwhelms the senses, much like the metropolis it portrays. The artist’s technique recalls the intricate dystopian cityscapes of Hieronymus Bosch or cyberpunk-inspired megacities, yet with a hand-crafted, painterly quality that pulls the viewer deeper into its intricate world-building.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Gun City\" is a warning and a prophecy, a visual narrative that forces the viewer to confront the interwoven nature of violence, urbanization, and systemic decay.
