Jason Pickleman is an artist and designer, known for producing graphic material for a wide-ranging cultural clientele through his studio JNL. Pickleman’s Icons series, which includes works across painting and sculpture, examines the universal qualities shared by enduring cultural symbology and the visual language of civic communication. Hand Heart directly addresses the continuity that exists across the history of visual form making—from cave drawings to the pictograms of contemporary international wayfinding signage—to form a symbol of compassionate empathy that supersedes language to become universally communicative across lines of age, race, gender, and culture.
