In Illuminated Reflection, Jimi Gleason invites viewers into a luminous realm where light is not merely an element, but a guiding force—shaping perception, revealing form, and transforming space. Guided by Light, as the artist describes, is both a philosophy and a process; it is the invisible collaborator behind each surface, each layer, and each shift in color or sheen. Working primarily with silver nitrate and iridescent pigments on canvas, Gleason explores the interplay between light and materiality. His recent works—featured in this New York solo exhibition—extend beyond the traditional boundaries of painting, transforming static surfaces into reflective environments that evolve with the viewer’s movement and the space’s ambient light. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, Gleason offers a meditative experience: one that encourages stillness, observation, and the subtle revelations that occur when the ordinary is illuminated. His work challenges us to slow down and see—truly see—not just what lies on the surface, but what is shaped by the unseen presence of light. As we navigate the luminous passages of Illuminated Reflection, we are reminded that light is not just what helps us perceive the world—it is also what reveals our place within it.
