Jason Villegas is a visual artist, born in Houston TX, who currently lives in Los Angeles. He delves into queer subcultures, utilizing transgressive humor and discomfort. Consumption, desire and angst are projected by the use of sexuality, totemic animals, pop culture, animation, and anthropomorphism. Villegas’ work is multidisciplinary, including ceramic sculpture, fabric art, painting, and drawing.

Villegas has exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Contemporary Art Museum of Houston, Phoenix Art Museum, and in Mexico City at El Museo de Ruffino Tamayo. While living in NYC for a decade he exhibited work at Exit Art, El Museo del Barrio, Kathleen Cullen Gallery, Swing Space, Art in Odd Places, Socrates Sculpture Park, and The Leslie Lohman Museum of Queer Art where he was also a fellow. He also participated in residencies at The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Vermont Studio Center.
