Jake Sheykhet

I'm a 19-year-old mixed media artist hailing from Denver, Colorado. Though I currently spend most of the year studying in Providence, Rhode Island. My parents are Soviet Jews. This has shaped my art. I was infatuated with the Peredvizhniki, particularly Levitan, at an early age.

The first work I am still proud of was in 2017. Since then, I've been experimenting with different tools, mediums, and substrates. This has resulted in a body of stylistically discombobulated work. However, as of August 2021, my voice has emerged.

I combine sculptural elements, made largely of paiper-mache, foam core, and cotton balls, with realistic, finely-detailed, oil painting to create unique works of art.
