Jackson
The Layers
Roche Jackson is a Southern California mixed-media artist working at the intersection of graffiti, vintage print, and contemporary culture. His work draws from personal experience, found imagery, hip-hop, and the visual language of the street. Each piece layers fragments from the past with the present, creating new narratives about memory, identity, and place.
Fragments of History
Roche’s work is a continuous process of collecting, recontextualizing, and rebuilding. Vintage magazines, photographs, type, and ephemera become the raw material for layered compositions that explore the tension between memory and the present.
ARCHIVE & MEMORY
Vintage magazines, photography, and ephemera provide a constant source of material and inspiration.
STREET CULTURE
Graffiti, hip-hop, and Southern California culture shape the visual language in each piece.
CONTROL / CHANCE
Layers of precision and spontaneity come together to create a balance between design and raw expression.
"The past is never static it changes every time you look"

The Canvas
With a background in graphic design and art direction, Roche brings a strong sense of composition, typography, and visual storytelling to his studio practice. The same principles that shape brand and editorial work inform his approach to fine art combining structure, culture, and intuition to create work that feels both deliberate and lived in.

The Layers of Memory
Mixed media art gives me a way to explore how memory, time, and lived experience shape the way we see the world. Our memories are never completely fixed. They are influenced by everything that happens afterward, reshaped by new experiences,
Memory, material, and the marks we leave behind.
