Jabari Jefferson

Jabari Jefferson

Jabari C Jefferson (b. 1994, Washington, DC) is a mixed media oil painter based in Washington DC. His multimedia paintings are layered with found mixed media material such as books, fabric, paper, ink, acrylic and oil paints. His process involves searching local Black communities for once owned items and repurposing them into usable pieces that add to his overall palette of materials. Inspired by ritualistic practices, Jefferson believes in the transfer of energy in the materials from their previous owners. The subject of the work is self-education, self-development, and learning self-identity. The goal of his creative practice is to communicate and embody what the process of learning looks like.

Jefferson received his BFA in painting from School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016. He has participated in group shows at galleries such as Kravets Wehby Gallery (New York), Ross & Kramer Gallery (New York), Swivel Gallery (New York), 1969 Gallery (New York), and Band of Vices Gallery (Los Angeles). His art has been featured in art fairs including Prizm Art Fair (Miami, FL) and Barely Art Fair (Los Angeles). He has participated in artist-in-residence programs at International Center for the Arts (Monte Castello, Italy), Four Seasons Hotel (Washington, DC), and Studio House (Baltimore, MD). His art resides in the collections of Mount Holyoke College Art Museum (South Hadley, MA) and Thomas Jefferson Monticello Museum (Charlottesville, VA).
