Art Machine Gallery’s Director/ Curator and Contemporary Minimalist Sculptor.

Jay T. Jax, sculptor and three-dimensional artist in Houston, Texas, studied art and art history from his boyhood. He spent many weekends as an adolescent sketching the works of the masters in the Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York where there is a larger-than-life size “Mother and Child” wood sculpture by Henry Moore. This piece inspired the principles that have become Jay’s guiding artistic mantra: Line. Form. Elegance.

After his military service in the US Army, Jay returned to the United States and eventually settled in Houston where he put away his art and built his commercial printing business, where he has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden Press, Inc., since 1980.

Now, after thirty five plus years of printing two dimenional graphic works on paper, Jay has returned to the study and creation of sculpture that inspired him as a boy. His sculpture springs directly from his passion for creating art in three dimensions, A lifelong study of classical to modern art fuels his artistic vision and guides the process. With each piece, he is striving to inspire and engage the senses with purity of form and line. In this sense, his work rings true with that of many contemporary minimalist artists who are working to captivate the viewer through simplicity of form.

The quest for beauty in its purest three dimensional form guides his every artistic choice.
