Ben Workman began to paint in acrylics and oils and in a mixture of various other medias as an attempt to relieve stress and promote relaxation. Mr. Workman experimented with mixtures of pumice, glass beads, crystals, metal, straw, paper and any other media in close proximity of the project in production at the time. Mr. Workman tries to include items of interest that will contribute to the piece of arts story he is attempting to capture in its final stage of production.
Mr. Workman developed an admiration for his grandfather’s (Earl Eugene Readdy) many professional successful accomplishments in life. However, his grandfather’s decision later in life that he decided to take was to become a clown in his sixties, so he could show and give to the world a side of himself that he did not project in his earlier adult life as a father of seven daughters and that of a very successful Oklahoma/Texas businessman. Mr. Readdy served for 25 years at the State School in Corpus Christi, Texas as a clown, and it brought out the side of him which he hoped that it would and that being the softer more loving side of him.
On Halloween 2009, Mr. Workman decided to dress and apply whiteface makeup and upon passing an undone canvass in his studio “Jumper Maybach” was manifested. Mr. Workman discovered that when he paints with his whiteface applied, an entire new visual and artistic approach develops” “Jumper Maybach” manifests within him, and Jumper directs the entire project to completion. In other words, Mr. Workman becomes “Jumper Maybach”.
The formation of the art under Jumper Maybach’s direction take on a life of its own. In the “Metro Man” of the “People Series”, Jumper actually communicates with the “Metro Man”. He paints and applies each piece of the mix media to the paintings as a living tribute to the true living art he is creating. When viewers of his art question “Jumper” about “Metro Man”, they say “You talk as your art is a living being”. Jumper simply replies that each Metro Man is living. The “Metro Man” is what makes the inner city a thriving and diverse place to live. The “Cotton Candy Queen” of the “People Series” is another example that Jumper has given a living perspective on the entity within the art. For example, the dresses the Queen wears is an original design by Haus of Jumper. The couture dresses will be created and worn by models in runway shows with Jumper in attendance. There are plans for fashion and jewelry lines. Read More!
