Jason System / Ikonoklast Movement / The Aerosol Nation (TAN) / Agents Of Change (AOC)
Biography /
System has travelled a great distance since his early painting days in North Wales, not just geographically, although recent acclaimed shows in London, Strasbourg and Berlin will attest to that also. Stylistically he has created a dialogue between the portraits he paints and himself. His technique is a near perfect amalgamation of new impressionism and comic book artistry. A strong current of modern day consumerism and cultural reference are both, highly prevalent within his works. System can adapt to any scale, large or small and his confidence and calm demeanor put him high above most of his peers. His ability to art direct large murals and develop new concepts place him on a much deserved pedestal. Within a movement that relies far too much on hype and not quality, System is a true master of his craft.

About me, the short version
From North Wales, started painting in the 80s. Got into graffiti from breaking until I saw Style Wars which changed everything. Started painting with Stormboy in the “Aerosol Alliance” And later also joined up with Part 2 as T.A.N. “The Aerosol Nation”. I set up my own business “System Street Art”, sold paint from my basement and traveled the UK visiting all the graff spots in the North, up until I went to College around 1990 when a group of us from all over the UK joined forces to paint as “The Iconoclast Movement” for 10 years. Then Joined up with AOC, Agents Of Change for many more group shows and exhibitions
