Jefferson Pinder is a Chicago-based artist whose multidisciplinary work spans sculpture, performance, and video. His art often addresses themes of race, memory, and American identity, weaving together historical narratives and contemporary commentary.
In his material practice, Pinder frequently uses aged, found, and corroded objects to evoke the haunting beauty of deterioration. His installation works recontextualize these materials within powerful historical frameworks, challenging viewers to engage with systems of exclusion, labor, and forgotten legacy.
