“I think my work can fall under quite a few names depending on who you ask, and I’d rather leave it up to others to define it.”
Jerkface is an anonymous New York street artist known for reimagining classic cartoon characters in playful, surreal ways. Born in Queens in 1982, he blends repetition, abstraction, and bold colors to transform familiar figures into faceless, hypnotic patterns. Since starting out in graffiti and studying graphic design at the School of Visual Arts, he has exhibited worldwide, from New York to London and Hong Kong. Despite keeping his identity secret, his joyful, nostalgia-driven art has gained a devoted following in galleries and public spaces alike.
