Jason Robert Bauer (b. 1986) is an American artist whose practice seeks equanimity through the expansion of consciousness. His work is an ongoing investigation of intuitive processes and technical rigor, aimed at cultivating mental, physical, and spiritual experiences. Employing mediums such as glass, light, sound, and time, Bauer explores the transformative potential of material and perception, inviting viewers into a state of contemplative engagement.
In 2018, Bauer and his partner Romina Gonzales Bauer co-founded J & R Bauer Inc., a fabrication studio specializing in glass. They subsequently launched The Third Rooom, an online design brand and conceptual store dedicated to bridging the natural and the divine by transforming spaces into sites of presence and purpose.
