Jade Tantillo

Jade Tantillo (New York, 1994), an artist with East Coast roots and Southwest soul. A self-proclaimed no-niche artist, her style is ever-evolving. In her own words: "a personification of when you're stuck somewhere in between riding a horse and hailing a cab." Southwest meets the East Coast -- a clash between the modern and vintage worlds. Her love of tangible sketching and original art developed into points on a computer screen to morph antiquated images with present-day photographs. Her work contradicts itself: it can be blunt and abstract, or delicate and vibrant.
