Collection: Jason Shiver

Jason Shiver was born in New York City, where he was immersed in art and culture through fine galleries and museums. After moving with his family to St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1974, he drew inspiration from local collections, including those at the Salvador Dalí Museum and the Ringling Museum.

Despite not being classically trained as an artist, Shiver, a journeyman in carpentry and welding, always had a creative inclination. This led to various commissions in the Tampa Bay area. In 2016, he expanded his artistic vision by moving to Shanghai to help complete the Shanghai Disney Resort project. During his time there, Shiver participated in a Disney international art show and later held a solo exhibition at the Tokyo Pan Gallery in March 2017. Recently, his work "Miratormachy" was displayed at the ESP Gallery in Chelsea, New York.

Currently an artist in residence at the Dance Project in Channelside, Tampa, Shiver continues to create unique expressions in metals and upcycled materials. His sculptures, known for their primitive aesthetic, explore the relationship between humans and nature. Shiver aims to evoke strong reactions, preferring a powerful response over a tepid one.
