Jay West is a contemporary artist living in Harlem, New York. He is furiously making his mark as one of the world‘s most promising young artists. West‘s brilliance lies in colliding worlds and uniting opposites into an unexpected yet coherent composition.

The eye rests on his artworks which reveal their facets with every viewing. Drawing from a wide range of inspirations, his paintings feature themes from various aspects of pop culture, cartoons, religion, technology, and Greek mythology as he playfully incorporates them into his very own representation.

He combines these themes with a deep knowledge of art history to subvert the grandiose aura of the art world. West‘s adaptation of the pop aesthetic integrates abstraction, surrealism, and the stylistic rendering of graphic illustration to create powerful works that are shown internationally.
