PIRATEJAZZ by Jasper Stieve
opening reception Nov 2nd 5 - 8pm
Jasper Stieve (b. 2000, Lambertville, NJ)
Jasper is a self taught mixed media artist who is heavily influenced by industrious settings and admires the fluent chaos found in city scapes. Primarily working with found objects and in airbrush, his work often encourages interaction, pushing away the common “do not touch” principle. He is a household name in the NYC skateboarding community and recently created his own niche fashion brand. He lives and works in Brooklyn.
Jasper is young, but often works with vintage found objects. For example, he often dismantles 1960's Fisher Price music boxes and changes out the scrolls. Turning them into graffiti lined streets of decay. The pieces are also interactive as viewers can turn the knobs and watch the landscapes go by. Its cultural interpretation shows the decline of the America of yesterday. Yet brings joy to all that see them.
