Exhibition Preview & Private Dinner with Jake Troyli

In celebration of Jake Troyli's third solo exhibition at moniquemeloche, EarlyWork will visit the gallery for a sneak preview with the artist before the show opens to the public the next day. Following the exhibition preview, we'll head around the corner to Big Delicious Planet for a beautiful and intimate dinner with Jake!

About Jake Troyli
Jake Troyli’s work investigates the construction of otherness and the commodification of the Black/Brown body, confronting and exploring labor capitalism and sweat equity as a demonstration of value. He makes energetic paintings, often featuring a self-portrait or avatar of himself embedded in engaging scenes, with a markedly classicist approach. Utilizing techniques formalized during the High Renaissance, underpainting and toning are central to the conception of each work, beginning with a burnt sienna foundation to establish values. In a timely evolution of his practice, Troyli expands the functionality and influence of his figures, imbuing them with new agency and establishing absurd narratives to consider the timeless conversations surrounding the preconceived notions of identity and value structures. Through the presence of prop-like iconography and compositions reminiscent of community theater sets, Troyli positions his figures as performing commodities constantly on display.
