The artist often offers insights into each of the works he shares on Instagram, whether in the differing influences on the content or the materials chosen for a given work. On the above piece, he says this: “I can’t remember where I found the idea for all parts of this drawing, but I remember it was in one documentary, but the idea can be a homage to some Pieter Brugel paintings as well. For sure, I’ve mixed some childhood memories of when spent some time living on a farm. There’s practically lots of good memories from that period I can use for artwork nowadays. If I am informed correctly, this drawing is reserved and after the exhibition closes it will stay in France in a private collection.”

Next month, the artist has a show with Paolo Del Toro at Nucleus Portland. See more of his works since he was last featured below.

French-born, Berlin-based artist Jaybo Monk creates collage like-paintings that relish ambiguity, living in the space between different styles and subject matters. The artist says that he deliberately avoids symmetry and a sense of gestalt wholeness — his work opposes what he refers to as "the ugliness of perfection." Instead, his paintings compartmentalize and rearrange the various parts of the human body in sensual, abstract depictions that evoke emotions associated with touch.
