Yung Jake crashes into our Hole with a surprise one-week exhibition, filling our Los Angeles gallery with his signature mix of high-low, digital-physical, and wildly inventive work.In the main gallery, hundreds of Post-it note drawings take over the walls—quick, raw, absurd, and intimate; they offer a kind of stream-of-consciousness download straight from one of contemporary art’s most restlessly creative minds. It’s Jake unfiltered—his day-to-day, dreams, memories, and maybe even his future—all happening in real time on small squares of sticky paper and framed in a custom-made powder-coated steel and acrylic.
In the side gallery, visitors will find two of his meticulously rendered LEGO paintings—hyper-detailed, layered, and kinda unbelievable—as well as a selection of other cool stuff. As a multi-hyphenate originally recognized for his viral emoji portraits, internet-native sensibility, and deep experimentation with material and form, Yung Jake’s work sits at the ever evolving intersection of meme and mastery, spontaneity and structure, online and in-real-life.
Yung Jake (lives and works in Los Angeles) is a multimedia artist and CalArts graduate whose work spans rap, video, animation, painting, and sculpture. His practice blends pop culture, youth culture, digital technology, and the physical world, exploring how modern culture is shaped by social media and internet vernacular. Known for his glitchy music videos, emoji portraits, and sculptural “combines,” Jake has exhibited internationally, including at Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, and performed at venues like LACMA and MoMA.
