J. Slattum is a self-taught artist, his work entering a visionary surreal world. His subjects gravitate towards anything that may answer those great philosophical Why's of The Universe, from science and quantum physics to metaphysics, mythology to psychedelics. After a near-death experience in 2007, inspired by a personal enlightenment, Slattum fell into a world of paint. Working from his studio in Portland, Oregon, his work is collected internationally, thanks to a deep online following.
