ART FAIR CURATION

“BANG! SPIT! SNAG!”

Featuring artist JAMIE CLYDE

SPRING/BREAK ART SHOW LOS ANGELES

FEBRUARY 16th - FEBRUARY 20th, 2022

Shaped by the great American archetypes of the Hero, Hollywood, and media culture, conceptual pop artist Jamie Clyde uses text and imagery reminiscent of the Pop Artist movement to explore collective consumer frameworks' conversations further. Her works directly challenge dangerous ideology and oppressive practices to substantiate less disseminated belief systems and explore the intricacies of American culture. Her narratives cleverly and deliberately deconstruct the mechanisms of advertising and marketing, with impactful slogans, catchy phrasing, and significantly applied colorful fonts.

About the artist:

Jamie Clyde is a text-based conceptual artist addressing critical issues and socio-political disparities embedded in American culture. With humor and satire, she is juxtaposing digital and painting techniques, developing a personal practice working with film transfer, digital photography, paint and poetry to critique imbalances of power and culture consumptions. Jamie draws from vintage magazines, old Hollywood imagery and Pop Art perspectives to create concept series built on collective psychological experiences. In her work, she is the observer and the player simultaneously. Her messages dig further into narratives tackling inequality, feminism, collective consumption habits, and climate change. Jamie Clyde studied at the University of Utah. After receiving a BFA in photography, she moved to New York City to pursue her art career.  Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions and numerous group exhibitions across the country.  She now works and lives in Salt Lake City, Utah.
