Jay Backstrand: Rock and Roll

One of Oregon’s finest painters, Jay has been working for more than 40 years. His paintings have a seamless beauty with both classical and contemporary sensibilities, incorporating images of iconic and classical art-history references with new motifs taken from our modern world. By juxtaposing and reconstructing images from a variety of cultures and art history, Jay’s paintings ask the question “What is beauty?
