Instructor | Pre-College Programs
James J.A. Mercer is a New York-based artist whose paintings, drawings, and videos explore troubled geometries. Highlighting moments of alienation in suburban architecture, he paints situations hovering on the edge of relatability, held in spatial and emotional contradiction. James received an MFA from Columbia University and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. He has exhibited at the Today Art Museum in Beijing, the Drawing Center, Pioneer Works, and the Roswell Museum. His animations have been shown at IFFR, Slamdance, and Eyeworks Festival.
