Welcome to JrEArt – Original Art from East London

I'm J, an independent artist based in East London, and this shop is where I share the most personal side of my creative world. My art is a blend of raw emotion, introspective storytelling, and bold experimentation with mediums like ink, acrylics, and mixed media.

Every piece you see here is an original—no prints, no duplicates—crafted by hand with intention and care. Whether it’s a surreal character like OLIVERAT or an abstract expressionist landscape, my work explores identity, imagination, and the feeling of being slightly outside the expected.

I often find inspiration in dreams, city sounds, and the tension between chaos and calm. My creative process is intuitive—I sketch, layer, and sometimes even destroy and rebuild a piece before it feels complete. That’s part of the story each work carries.

I started JrEArt to connect with others who see the world a little differently—those who value uniqueness, emotion, and honesty in art. Thank you for supporting independent artists and for being here.

Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more about a piece or just want to chat about art.
