Jasmine Jagger
JASMINE
Jasmine, an expressionistic artist Living in Cape town, South Africa. In learning how to let go of barriers, Jasmine is able to tap into a wealth of personal imagery motivated by thoughts and experiences, finding influence in the intricacies of her daily life. Her distinctive and personal style is reflective in her use of contrasting colours and bold compositions. Imagery that pays homage to the conscious and subconscious thought of the human mind.
As a child, she received prizes and awards for her innate talent. With no formal art education, Jasmine is a self taught Painter and has for a large part of her life collected and compounded experience and inspiration from the likes of Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Baselitz, A.R Penk, Yayoi Kusama and George Condo.
She began her journey into the art world when she was scouted and commissioned for her ceramic work in 2015 By Artist and Former owner of Zulu Lulu art gallery, Trayci Tompkins. Jasmine began her painting career in late 2019 and by August 2020 was commissioned by Yael Geffen CEO of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Real estate for their Women’s month campaign.
Jasmine is compelled to create art using striking colours and loud imagery for the sake of losing herself in an intense desire for comfort and solace in what she can only describe as an “organic, cathartic experience’'
