The Art of J. R. Beck

After decades of exploring the works of several organic architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff, I started to feel the need to create an art that recreated the feeling that their architecture gave to me.

My work is about the beauty of how forms work with each other, very similar to classical music. My work is free form, yet structured. The use of color, shapes and form blend with each other to give what I think are some remarkable effects.

Each of my works evolves through many stages. Like an orchestral work, I create different elements on layers (like the different instruments in an orchestra). These layers overlap, some being transparent, some bold and bright. As I create, I tweak each aspect of the art until I am satisfied with the finished product. I look at myself as a conductor when I bring each element in and out of the overall work to create vibrant musical color.
