Ja'Ski Watkins (Pronounced: "Zha-Skee")

The electrifying realm of Ultra-Contemporary Abstract Art

JaSki Watkins 

In my practice as an ultra-contemporary abstract artist, I explore the interplay of color theory and automatism through bold acrylic paintings. My work merges organic and geometric forms with layered textures, creating dynamic compositions that balance intuition with precision.


Each piece reflects an ongoing dialogue between spontaneity and structure, where vibrant hues and gestural marks evoke both movement and stillness. For collectors drawn to modern abstract expressionism, my small and large-scale canvases offer an immersive experience of contemporary abstraction.

I invite you to explore my latest works and see how these concepts unfold.
