About
Jak is an artist working across digital and physical media, with glitch art central to his practice since 2021. His work spans drawing, painting, moving images and generative animation. Recent pieces draw on prayer and mystical imagery, while his characters and visual language also extend into books and games. His work has been presented at Sotheby’s, Art Dubai, Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Basel Miami, and the Seattle NFT Museum, and is held in collections including Sotheby’s Grails Collection and the 6529 Museum, alongside private collections internationally.
Glitch art has been Jak’s central practice since 2021, following work across drawing, painting, street art and digital media dating to the early 2000s.
His process combines hand-made marks, captured images and video, and generative systems. Distortion, compression, interference and layering transform this material through repeated experimentation. Rhythm and sound often inform the moving-image work, while drawings and paintings provide material for further transformations.
Recent work brings prayer and mystical imagery into this practice. Pieces including Prayer for Rain, Four Worlds and Unification combine looping motion, dithered textures and symbolic forms. These works extend his exploration of glitch through images drawn from spiritual traditions.
The movement between physical and digital forms remains central. Drawings and paintings become moving images, while digital work returns to canvas, wood and handmade paper.
