Drawing from vernacular design, childhood iconography, commercial nostalgia, and the detritus of mass culture, Yates treats familiar imagery not as fixed symbols, but as unstable emotional artifacts—simultaneously sincere and absurd, comforting and unsettling. His practice frequently centers on figures that occupy a strange threshold between recognition and estrangement, where sentimentality begins to collapse into something darker, more uncanny, or unexpectedly melancholic. Working across sculpture, painting, drawing, and assemblage, Yates transforms culturally familiar forms into psychologically charged encounters with memory, obsolescence, and symbolic exhaustion. His works often foreground support structures, scale shifts, and material displacements that destabilize distinctions between object and image, prop and body, artifact and surrogate. Rather than simply critiquing popular culture, Yates approaches it as a site of emotional inheritance—one where outdated forms of feeling continue to exert force even after their original meanings have eroded. Jason Yates (b. 1972, Detroit, MI) lives and works in Los Angeles. He received his BFA from the University of Michigan and MFA from the ArtCenter College of Design. Yates has presented solo exhibitions at KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, Louisville, KY; Gattopardo, Los Angeles, CA; Wasserman Projects, Detroit, MI, and more. He has presented two-person shows with Alex Bag and Dinos Chapman at Von Ammon Co, Washington, DC. He was included in the 2015 Whitney Biennial in collaboration with the independent publishing group Semiotext(e). His work has been written about in Artforum, The New York Times, Frieze, Hyperallergic, and more.
