ARTISTS BIO

Jared Werner is a Russian-born, Chicagoland-based artist and filmmaker working toward an undergraduate degree in Studio Art and Political Science with a Pre-Law focus at Carthage College. Their work blends traditional media like oil painting, charcoal, and ceramics with experimental film, new media, and graphic design. Their diverse portfolio is constructed with deeper meaning, sometimes quite upfront and other times more interpretive. The goal is to promote discourse and raise questions among viewers using visual and contextual lenses to uncover broader political, personal, popular culture, and historical frameworks.
