4JB3 is the creative practice of Jack Berry, a Manchester based artist originally from the West Midlands.Depicting scenes of a reality of his own creation through fine art. He uses this world to portray his ideas, memories, feelings and dreams (often through his character J BOY). His style is reminiscent of the video games, cartoons and films that he grew up with in the 2000s. In addition to fine art, 4JB3
also undertakes clothing design projects and cover art creation/ design.
Many of the influences behind 4JB3 are interests Jack has had since a child; hip-hop music and culture, film, TV, architecture, basketball and street fashion to name a few. It’s a playful style existing somewhere in-between cartoon and reality, mirroring his feeling of living the life of an ‘adult’ whilst being a child at heart. The idea of ‘in-between’ is present throughout the work of 4JB3. In-between; sophisticated and naive, life and death, dreams and nightmares.
