Tune in to the sixth digital edition of #InTheStudio with #ArtAboveReality as we visit the studio workspace of LA-based artist Jonah Jackson (@jonah.jay), today at 6p! *pacific. • #InTheStudio: The series offers an inside look into the studio practice of the visual artist. From fabricated materials and works in progress to exhibition preparation, viewers get a chance to understand and experience the process firsthand. • The Artist: Jonah Jackson is a Houston, Texas native now working in Los Angeles. He received his BA in studio art from the University of Texas at San Antonio and his MFA from Claremont Graduate University. He discovered art during a painting course titled “painting for non-art majors”. • His paintings and installations critique American history and its’ exclusion of Black people. With narratives, identity, portraiture, and language, he responds to the Black experience within his community. Through assemblage, he’s expanded the boundaries of painting creating sculptural work and bringing complexities to these objects. #ArtAboveReality
