All Eyes On: Jae Capo

Jevante King-Woods, otherwise known as Jae Capo, is a nationally recognized expressionist artist based in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a self-taught artist expressing our ever-evolving feelings and emotions by way of storytelling and exploring different ideas on different mediums. He creates what moves him however the ideas come out. His moto is “If paint sticks to it, I will paint it.” His talents have evolved and he has been able to transition into digital work. Since making the decision in 2016 to become a professional artist he has shown artwork in more than 20 group exhibitions, 2 solo exhibitions and has collaborated with brands like Luc Belaire, Hennessy, Series by Cheeky, Beyond the Spectrum, Bolstr and more.  

As a self-taught expressionist artist, I like to create whatever moves me. I like to explore my feelings a lot with my focus being around colors first and then decide the medium next. I like to figure out what colors will best match what I want people to see and feel. I am inspired daily by everything the world has to offer. I can hear a song, have a conversation, watch a movie and just see ideas of what a creation would look like. This has allowed me to fearlessly dive into digital work creating album covers, book covers and graphic designs for clothing. I ultimately want to create things that calls for the participation of the audience to the same extent of my involvement with them becoming a co-narrator.
