James Jankowiak

LOCATION: Coming Soon

Chicago-born artist and educator James Jankowiak’s current paintings and installations focus on the role of color and familiar form as a means of communication in our day-to-day environment. His emotive abstract paintings and public artworks explore the intersections between color perception, visual rhythm, spirituality, and music.

Jankowiak has utilized his painting practice as a vehicle for social engagement with Chicago communities as a teaching artist embedded in Chicago Public Schools. Jankowiak integrates contemporary art into a social and emotional learning model for students and teachers
alike, using accessible, collaborative art practices, focusing on the process of making works in public spaces.
