Artist Bio
Jamel is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist working in the mediums of abstract expressionist painting, sculpture, writing, and performance. His work ponders itself alongside maker and audience while serving as a time-stamp of the experiences shaping his life and creative practice.
Robinson's works have gained him notoriety at home and abroad, attracting a variety of prominent collectors.
Jamel has been celebrated by the New York Times and CBS News for his Beauty from Ashes solo exhibition and teaching artist residency at the Hudson River Museum in New York. The body of work was curated in response to "African American Art in the 20th Century," the Smithsonian American Art Museum's traveling exhibition of select permanent works which opened at the Hudson River Museum at the start of Robinson's residency in the fall of 2021.
Soon after, Jamel garnered further art world attention with a successful solo exhibition in 2022 at A Hug for the Art World in Chelsea.
Robinson has been featured in several solo gallery exhibitions, including at the Established Gallery and the Ivy Brown Gallery in New York and the Gallery Von Schmordenfaden in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2018, his work was featured in 100 Works, curated by Derrick Adams, Oshun Layne, Larry Ossei-Mensah, Teriha Yaegashi, Stephanie Cunningham, Gabriel de Guzman, and Becky Elmquist and presented by ARTNOIR, LatchKey Gallery, and E+. His work was recently on view in The Eyes Have It at the Lehman College Art Gallery and at The Meeting Point, a pop-up gallery curated by Danny Baez in collaboration with ARTNOIR, REGULARNORMAL, and The Meatpacking District.
Robinson lives and works in Harlem, New York City where he was born and raised.
