Jen Stark

Jen Stark’s art is driven by her interest in conceptualizing visual systems to simulate plant growth, evolution, infinity, fractals, mimetic topographies and sacred geometries. Using available materials—paper, wood, metal, paint—Stark creates work that balances on the razor’s edge of optical seduction and perceptual engagement. The resulting pieces are imbued with kinetic, undulating effects that dislocate the viewer from staid reality into an immersive ecosphere of echoing patterns and designs found in nature.

In recent years, Stark has introduced new technologies into her diverse practice, delving into the digital realm through animations, interactive projections and distinctive NFTs. By adopting cutting-edge techniques to showcase her aesthetic, Stark activates her universe through constant adaptation and transformation.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida in 1983, Stark now lives and works in Los Angeles. She has been exhibited globally, with major shows in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Thailand and Canada. Recently included in Fortune’s “NFTy 50,” Stark made history in March 2021 as the first female artist to appear in Foundation’s top 10 highest-selling NFT creatives. Her work is held in the collections of institutions such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the West Collection, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, NSU Art Museum and MOCA Miami, among others.
