BIO

​​​​

​Jarrett Camp (born 1980 is a Multicultural African American,) visual artist working primarily in stipple and pointillism methods but also works in a digital platform.

​

For me, my journey with Stipple started with two conversations with a high school student by the name of Roselyn and my art teacher. 

​

I conversed with her after her field trip to an art museum. She mentioned to me that when she went to a gallery and saw artwork when she looked at it, she said why is this in a museum? I saw a piece that was just blue and green, and they called it artwork, why? I just don't get it.

 

Then two weeks before I graduated from high school my art teacher discovered that I had dyslexia. I was hurt because all this time in grade school I was being bullied and made fun of because I couldn't read nor comprehend any reading, I was finally told why. So I was in my bedroom crying because I went through school all this time not knowing that I had dyslexia, but as I was drawing on my art table one of the biggest discoveries in my career was born. 

When using stipple I can see multiple images within images. I can see images upside down and right side up.

​

Then at the same time when I heard this from Roseyln, I was determined to develop a way that fulfills a person like her to come to a museum and find a solution for artwork that would give a source of better understanding and artwork that is not only fun to look at but also something that you didn't have to question is that art, and why do people like a certain movement of art?

​

While in college and knowing how to comprehend a book I started grabbing art books and studying the artwork without reading about and looking at them and questioning "what is art."

The Confusion,’ exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. 

Jarrett Camp created a unique category to describe his work:

 

 

 

 

1. Story


2. Elements of Mystery 
 

3. Technique
 

4. Description

​

​

Octo - form - ism/ noun

​

Definition: A form of art that integrates pure essences of various methods and fuses them to create a single style.

Camp’s work marries abstraction, surrealism, expressionism, graffiti, dadaism, comic books, sci-fi, landscapes, and collages into forms, shapes, and colors with his unique brand of representational storytelling through stippling and pointillism.

When creating his work, Camp follows his formula, the Four Audience Intake Theory, which involves four pillars.

 

 

 

 

 

Each pillar corresponds not only to different periods of human development but also to his journey and emulates each in the realization of his artwork.

Jarrett Talks About The 
The Four Audience Intake Theory

These are the plains in which my eyes create interwoven images. I see in 3D.

How my disability becomes a gift!

Because of my dyslexia, while I’m working on the first plain, my eyes automatically read the negative space, and can envision how the second plain will look.

In the second plain, my eyes turn negative space into positive space, and at the same time my dyslexia continues to reveal more negative space for the next plain.

In the third plane, I decide how far I want or need to go with the piece. Although I see in 3D which enables me to create complicated images, it puts a certain amount of stress on my brain to complete complex calculations – in other words, my mind is always going, so I need to make decisions about when to take a break when to stop, and when a piece is finished to my expectations.
