Personal Statement
Sam Jaffe is a visual artist currently living and working in Chicago, IL. She is represented by 65GRAND in Chicago and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in The Department of Painting and Drawing at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.
Characterized by toxic color and overstuffed, mutated forms, Jaffe's recent work explores labor, folk and domestic art traditions, ornamentation, collecting behaviors, femininity, humor, and the grotesque fallibility of the human body.
Disclaimer: All work represents the views of the INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS & AUTHORS who created them, and are not those of the school or museum of the Art Institute.
