darling baby jay, who is also known as jasmine mahé darlington, is an artist eager to learn about and weave differing disciplines in order to create exciting new worlds and pieces that meet at the brink between realism and surrealism, much like in the film by michel gondry, "the science of sleep".
baby jay's work will range from depictions of forkloric alebrije-type cowboy personas to the exploration and study of the intricacy of queer sex, such as in their recent film "eni9ma" done in collaboration with stylist and art director hasznat. These projects are a direct result of their mexican & welsh upbringing, as well as their queer identity.
â
they are currently studying their ba fine art degree at central saint martins.
"i used to think that my work was about pure escapism, but i realise now, that in fact, it's more about the understanding of reality. as in, putting real-life situations, issues, feelings under a lens of dream-like exaggeration. i think that is why my pieces usually end up being so big in size."
