The worlds surrounding the work are just as important as the work itself.

 

ARTBYJCON explores the relationship between emotion, environment, collecting and atmosphere — from paintings and installations to interiors, fashion, rare botanical collections and curated living spaces.

 

Inspired by New York City, Harlem culture, intimacy, music, luxury retail environments and the psychology of collecting, each project is designed to feel immersive rather than simply observed.

 

Whether through canvas, objects or living collections, the goal remains the same:

 

to create spaces that emotionally stay with people.
