Artist Bio

Graffiti/mural artist JEKS, a pioneering member of Greensboro’s burgeoning street-art scene, has made a name for himself globally with his hyper realistic monochromatic and full colour portraits.

His portraits of artists and Pop culture icons have become beloved landmarks in the cities where they are installed.

The amount of meticulous detail, smooth gradients, and emotion in his pieces set him apart from other artists in the realism field.

Between painting his jaw-dropping portraits, technical graffiti burners and showing a relentless hunger to push the envelope, he is on his way to become a well-known and sought after name in the public art world.
