Jevon Brown is an American-born Bahamian/Jamaican visual artist and textile designer from Miami, FL. Brown’s work intimately explores barbershops, boyhood, and masculinity through the lens of a queer man. His work is characterized by an unconventional approach that aspires to construct a vibrant visual dialect. One that recontextualizes the narratives of the legacies, memories, artifacts, and symbols present within his culture.
Brown graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Textiles. Jevon has worked for brands like Gucci and Converse as a design intern in recent years. He is currently based in Sarasota Florida, As the Inaugural Eleanor Merritt Fellow at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.
