Come join us for the debut of JT Daniels' solo exhibition, "Surviv'n Under Pressure"! Studios Inc. will host an opening reception from 5-8 pm on Friday, February 6th, 2026.“My art is an extension of the way I learned to see the world through skateboarding. Skating taught me that nothing is fixed: a staircase isn’t just a staircase, a curb isn’t just a curb. They became opportunities for movement, expression, and transformation. That perspective carries over into my current work, where I reimagine discarded items as ways of reconstructing identity.” - JT Daniels
Daniels’ work weaves together various elements into streamlined designs that represent the heartbeat of the urban community. Overlapping faces and figures within the illustrations are visual representations of the people he encounters. These conversations and interactions become the compositions that signify the complexity of the human experience. In his work, he takes the opportunity to add phrases or words that have personal meaning. One of his favorite phrases is ‘SUP’, which stands for “Surviv’n Under Pressure”. The idea of ‘SUP’ encompasses the concept of what it is to be human and how we survive. He takes that embodiment of what surviving under pressure means and gives it life through art.
Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday 10 - 4 pm, and Saturdays 12 - 4 pm.
