Jason Kriegler’s work has been exhibited both in the United States and internationally. He currently lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico. While studying art in the mid-1980s, Kriegler was intrigued by emerging textile artists, contemporary art and modernism that were transforming the art scene, particularly the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, where new ideas and techniques were being challenged and developed.

The influences on his work were, and continue to be, abstract modernist artists such as Dubuffet, Alberto Burri, Brice Marden, Anselm Kiefer, Franz Kline, Helen Frankenthaler, El Anatsui, Sheila Hicks, Fortunato Hernández Bazán, Ruth Asawa and Lissy Funk, among others. These artists influenced his practice and helped to expand the boundaries of what textile art or fibre art can be. Painting and textiles can be interwoven and infused into one another.
