Jake Tobin (b. 1991, Worcester, Massachusetts) is a self taught artist born to a family of tradesmen and teachers. He was raised in rural Florida and spent his childhood in the world of motorcross with his older brother, playing the national anthem on the saxophone to open races. He left home, dropped out of school, and made music throughout his twenties, sustained by learning computers. He has worked as a contract engineer for 13 years designing and building meteorology software and online card games. He hates technology and interfaces. His work tends towards a visionary tradition, citing spontaneous transmission and coincidence as primary sources. He uses drawing, painting, sculpture, video, 3D, and software to transcribe images, prioritizing unknowing and beauty through accident, recombination, and a careful false realism. He currently lives in Brooklyn.
This is his second show in Los Angeles following ‘Baby Stuff’ at Scribble. Other recent exhibitions include ‘Acorn Reality’ at Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art and NADA Paris. Recent publications include Ferroschematics (Random Man Editions, 2024) and Assembly (Inpatient Press, 2024).
