Jesse Genepi (b. 1995) is a Los Angeles-based artist. He holds a BFA from the University of Minnesota and an MFA from the University of California, Davis. Genepi’s paintings synthesize visionary art, and cosmology into layered compositions that unfold through shifting light, perspective, and time. Using resin, oil, and iridescent materials, the works remain in constant flux, where colors and textures act as analogues for emotional states and portray the tension between chaos and structure. This syncretic visual language, rooted in metaphysical inquiry and digital aesthetics, invites viewers to contemplate the intrapersonal terrain of perception and meaning.
Genepi’s work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at Nina Johnson Gallery, Miami, FL (2025), 12.26, Los Angeles, CA (2025) Elsa Lee Bruno, Los Angeles, CA (2025); Noon Projects, Los Angeles, CA (2024); Island Gallery, New York, NY (2023); the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, Davis, CA (2021); b. Sakata, Sacramento, CA (2021); below grand, New York, NY (2021); among others.
