About

Jason Hayth is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based out of Chicago whose work is a reflection of identity, culture, and the unseen stories of underrepresented communities. Hayth’s work consists of both traditional acrylic on canvas, sneaker art, wood working, and digital paintings in photoshop. A bi-racial Black and White artist, Jason’s journey has never fit neatly into any box—something he once saw as a curse but now embraces as a unique perspective that fuels his creativity.

A former two-sport college athlete, a Navy veteran, and a father, Jason has lived across the country and traveled beyond, absorbing diverse cultures, experiences, and narratives. His art is deeply influenced by his love for music, sports, entertainment culture, black culture, and gaming, merging bold visuals with storytelling that resonates across audiences.

Through his work, he challenges perceptions, celebrates marginalized voices, and expresses the complexity of identity. His journey can be best summed up from one of his favorite quotes from the movie dope:

"For most of my life, I've been caught in between who I really am...and how I'm perceived, in between categories and definition. I don't fit in. And I used to think that that was a curse, but... now I'm slowly starting to see... maybe it's a blessing. See, when you don't fit in, you're forced to see the world from many different angles and points of view. You gain knowledge, life lessons from disparate people and places. And those lessons, for better or worse, have shaped me.

So, who am I?"*

Jason Hayth’s art doesn’t just depict a scene—it starts a conversation. It invites viewers to explore beyond labels, beyond boundaries, and into a world where identity is fluid, dynamic, and unapologetically authentic.
