Artist’s Statement

To paint a time in space that stands still.
A melody of a vision of an interpretation.
The painting becomes a passage that plays on.

Quotes

"Jade Moede is a serious artist with fine technique and a sense of humor which is sometimes obvious and often subtle. His hidden punch line borders on surrealism. The events taking place or about to take place go beyond their picture frame. They intrigue and capture one’s imagination with the ability to give just enough. Jade’s point of view is very appealing."

ANTHONY PALUMBO
Artist and Instructor at the Art Students League of NY

"The paintings of Jade Moede are engaging and enigmatic. His technical prowess is heightened by his ability to bring a unique perspective to otherwise ordinary subjects."
