Jay Heikes

"At various moments throughout his career, Heikes has celebrated both the physical and mystical properties of his materials in an exploration of what might be considered alchemical processes more akin to the natural world than the art world. " - Betsy Carpenter, independent curator

Heikes' work has been collected and exhibited widely at galleries and museums in North America and Europe, including the Aspen Art Museum, Institute of Contemporary Art (Philadelphia), P.S. 1 (New York), the New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York), and Walker Art Center (Minneapolis). Heikes participated in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.

Heikes (b. 1975, Princeton, NJ) lives and works in Minneapolis and is represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery (New York) and Federica Schiavo Gallery (Milan & Rome, Italy).
