Jay Islate

Working across various mediums such as painting, collage, video, and .gif, Jay seeks to understand and amplify our perception of the everyday through the small moments we collectively experience.


He is largely self-taught and driven by an innate curiosity around our human experience. You can often find him caught between baptisms of terminally online existence and being engulfed by a perfectly uninterrupted blue sky.
