Jake Nevèdnav (1968) is a visual artist from the Netherlands who grew up in the punk scene of the eighties, it made a big impression which still reflects on his work today. Those chaos years needed a counterbalance, therefore subjects are translated into understandable shapes and lines, which will still look rather complex to the viewer. Themes are often based around social anhedonia, isolation, sensory sensitivity, a difficult relationship between creativity and mental state. Nevednav mostly works with oil on linen, occasionally photography, graphic art or mixed media.

Jake Nevèdnav studied fashion design in London (UK) before starting a successful fashion and photography business, his creations were often seen on the catwalks of London Fashion Week. The artist has lived and worked in many big cities around the world but is currently back in the Netherlands after 25 years abroad. His work can be found in galleries and private collections.
