Jeremy Powell was born in Port Arthur, East Texas in the 1970's and was exposed early in life to the cultures of the Caribbean, namely Puerto Rico and Barbados. Eventually he would settle with his family in Miami, Florida and begin life as both an Artist, Dj and Model.
His creative skills and vision began in his early childhood days in Texas, it would be further developed and nutured with the exposure to the multi-cultures of the Caribbean and South Florida. The time spent in Puerto Rico, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, South Florida and the Bahamas would provide much of the inspiration for his future career as a Fine Artist. However it would be musical heritage from these cultures that would be the ultimate catalyst for much of his future work as both an Artist/Illustrator, Designer and Dj. Jeremy has worked extensively in the Commercial and Graphic Design field before moving into the realm of Fine Art in 2009.
The artist's work is full of color and posses qualities similar to the works of Brad Holland and Illustrators such as Todd MacFarlane and Jack Kirby. He is a great admirer of the Impressionists and the German Expressionists and mondern day comic book Illustrators. They all seem to posses the qualities that are encompassed in his work, those of color, vibrant composition and certain hard edge sensitivity. Essentially self-taught with formal training later in life via a Bachelors Degree of Fine Arts in Graphic Design.
The Artist often refers to his style as expressive vignettes of the moment; he oftens says that "the vision through my eyes is line, form and color". Since 2009, Jeremy has been involved in Trinidad Carnival both as a masquerader and an exhibiting artist. Having five joint shows there since 2010. He is also affliated with the avant-garde J'Ouvert band MAS Jumbies doing both their Desgin/Graphic work and Costume production.
His work has been in exhibitions both in Trinidad and Miami and has been featured on Gayelle T.V. (Trinidad) as well as both regional and local perodicals (Trinidad).
Jeremy now lives and works in Miami, Florida and continues to work as both an Artist/Illustrator, Designer and Dj, all which he says compliments and feeds off each other.
