About Artist
The work of Jakub Jochym, born in 1990 in Slovakia Republic, ranges between graffiti, videos and drawings employing acrylics, charcoal, ink, pencil and pastel. Being based in China for the last 6 years, he studied Sinology, and Chinese has been his primary language on a daily basis for communication, becoming thus a part of his identity, not only when it comes to artistic practice.
His work is deeply rooted in graffiti, a spontaneous artistic movement that has influenced the youth of the so called millennial generation, starting in New York in the late 60βs and flourishing massively in the 90βs all around Europe together with the Hip Hop movement. Under this influence, Jochym spends most of his research time on long walks and bike rides through the city, observing details and picking up found objects that will become the subjects of his artwork.
