Niam Jain specializes in Gestural Abstract Art and Abstract Expressionism. At the tender of age of only 16 Jain is being recognized all over North America from collectors for his unique talents. Jain has autism and limited speech. Jain paints in layers. Each layer expresses a thought or emotion with the entire painting telling a story. As Jain paints, the colors explode in his paintings, bursting onto the canvas in bold dabs and brushstrokes, at times with complete abstract abandon. With astounding pictorial intuition, Jain composes works that inspire and intrigue. He invites the viewer into a vibrant world of unrestraint abandon, where the viewer is lost in the emotions of the painting. Although, Jain lacks fluent speech he reminds us a canvas is a medium of ultimate expression.
