Jake Brush

Overview

An interdisciplinary artist working within the fields of video, sculpture, and performance, Jake Brush wryly satirizes and celebrates the excesses of American culture and media. Born in 1994 on Long Island, Brush became quickly attuned to the quirks and eccentricities of the area; many of his childhood experiences would later go on to inform his work. Brush graduated from SUNY Purchase in 2016 where he studied Film, New Media, and Visual Art. While at Purchase, Brush studied with Michael Bell-Smith, who shares Brush’s interest in intertextual, witty media remixing and internet culture.
