Rodney Jackson | Art Director
Rodney Jackson attended The New World School of the Arts and is an alumnus of Maryland Institute College of Art.
For the past thirteen years, he has been infusing traditional and contemporary art with elements of Japanese animation and Hip-Hop, placing his own personal stamp on a new pop aesthetic which comprises what many believe is the core of the new millennium cultural movement.
Rodney is the architect of the art movement known as DONŪ that is characterized by a fusion of classic and new school artistic approaches.
His most recent work uses photos and textiles to highlight the labor class of people as they carve their place into the fabric of American culture. This production has been placed on exhibit at the annual international festival, Art Basel Miami.
Jackson currently lives in Homestead, Florida. As an artist-in-residence, the works of Rodney Jackson are represented by The Diaspora Vibe Gallery.
