Jerkface

Art Brokerage: Jerkface American Artist: b. 1982. Anonymous street artist, Jerkface, was born in Queens, New York in 1982. He demonstrated an interest in art from a young age and would often draw pictures of his favorite cartoon characters after school. By the age of 12, Jerkface had been enrolled in several art classes and with his talent far surpassing that of other students his age, he was quickly advanced to more complex classes for older children. Following high school, Jerkface attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, specializing in graphic design and advertising. Throughout his time at SVA, the artist\'s passion for art grew and by 2012, Jerkface was looking to exhibit as part of group exhibitions. Unaware of how to get his work into existing shows, Jerkface decided to create his own, curating exhibitions in Long Island City, Queens and Crown Heights, Brooklyn. His distinctive style started to garner him national attention and his decision to create public murals made him even more visible. Listings wanted.
