Jon Rollins

Bio: Jon Rollins (b. 1991) is a visual artist based in High Point, NC. His abstract works incorporate collage, drawing, painting, and printmaking. He has exhibited work in New York, Madrid, Basel, Miami Beach, and throughout North Carolina. Statement: My studio is filled with scrap materials from years of artmaking: sketches, notes, tape, table coverings, and unfinished works. They are artifacts of phases both inside and outside of the studio, containing the questions, mistakes, and discoveries of their time. In my work, layers of scraps are collaged and then altered with paint, drawings, and a razor. The process is a reevaluation of each scrap, its origin, and the search for a resolution: when a torn drawing or an old piece of tape just fits.
