At Sloan Miyasato Fine Art, curated by Michelle Bello, artist Jimi Gleason seduces viewers with his latest body of work The Diamond Paintings. Utilizing non-traditional techniques and the luminescent use of silver deposit, they allow us to reflect on the mechanics of perception. The surfaces of these paintings have been purposely overexposed to his chemical electroplating process and as a result are corroded. Some parts may appear smoother than others but all have been chemically altered to some degree, providing a push-pull effect. His elegant diamond shapes beckon while his uneven surfaces keep us at bay.

Born in Newport Beach, California, Gleason received his BA from UC Berkeley and studied printmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute before relocating to New York City where he worked as a photo assistant and technician. Returning to California, he was employed in the studio of noted abstract painter Ed Moses for five years. His paintings are held in public and private collections around the world. Gleason’s works have been exhibited in conjunction with significant institutions including the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Armand Hammer Museum, and Seattle Art Museum.
