Jalen Colbert is an interdisciplinary artist & set designer whose practice focuses on the
investigation of shared experiences and exposing uncanny symbols that contextualize our
understanding of reality. With work spanning several mediums, he combines image and
model-making, animation, and CGI to create spaces with intention. Jalen’s artistic interests concern the
fusion of digital space and the physical, cartoon as an artifact of that fusion, and what “reality” has to do
with the way mankind creates inanimate things.
Jalen’s work has seen the likes of Mubi, Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, and The Los Angeles Times
