A Raw Freedom
The Power of the Pour
For Jason Zickler, pouring isn’t just about applying paint—it’s about unleashing it. With a controlled hand and an open mind, he lets the paint flow in steady streams, allowing gravity to take over where the brush would interfere.
There’s a raw freedom in the pour, a steady rhythm that gives each piece its energy. Zickler uses the pour to set emotion in motion—color as mood, movement as message.
Fluid Meets Focus
Every pour is intentional. Zickler isn’t guessing—he’s composing. He chooses where the liquid will land, how it will move, and when to stop. Some layers soak in and disappear, while others settle on the surface, ready to reflect the light beneath a coat of glossy resin.
This balance between instinct and control gives his work a hypnotic quality—fluid, but focused.
The Doors of Chaos
Chaos That Knows Its Limits
Pouring opens the door to chaos, and Zickler knows how to walk that line. As the paint flows, it creates patterns, edges, and moments that can’t be repeated. But within that unpredictability, he’s guiding the outcome—tilting the canvas, layering colors, adjusting the pace. His pour work lives at the intersection of structure and surrender. It’s art made by letting go just enough.

Natural
This piece pulses with natural energy—lush greens flow like rivers, while layered textures shift and settle like earth in motion.
PRESS
Capturing the Flow
Once the paint has found its path, Zickler captures the moment with resin—sealing the flow, preserving the movement. The result is artwork that looks alive, as if the paint is still in motion beneath the surface. Pour becomes memory, locked in a high-gloss finish that amplifies every curve, every interaction, every collision of color. It’s not just what was poured—it’s what was felt in the process.
