From screenplay to painting: alum reveals stories behind latest art exhibition
After receiving a bachelor’s in advertising and moving to New York, one UT alumnus met the Big Apple’s illustrious skyline and decided he did not belong there.
“New York is one of the most populated cities in the world, but also one of the loneliest places,” Jason Archer said. “I always felt like Austin was my home. The people here, I naturally have something in common with them.”
Archer, class of 1996, said he relocated back to Austin in 2000, channeling his energy into screenwriting in 2005. Archer later reformatted his original screenplay characters into recurring subjects in his paintings and blended them with Texan cultural elements. His recent exhibition at Commerce Gallery in historic downtown Lockhart, TX from May 3 to June 2 showcased 18 new creations.
