Based in Southern California, Jason Chakravarty creates mixed-media
objects that explore questions of identity. Illumination is a key
component of his work, most commonly in the form of neon, which for
Chakravarty is the epitome of Americana. Materials such as glass, wood,
metal, and found objects layer his work with narratives tracing the
overlap between social, political, cultural, and personal identity.
Straightforward imagery is collaged to create a recognizable vocabulary
for investigating the search for individual identity among the
perpetually proliferating brand-functions in the contemporary cultural
landscape.
