RJ is a digital artist based in Edinburgh, working in pixel-painting, GIFs and animation. After reading Classics at Cambridge University, he went on to study an MA in Modern literature and a PhD in contemporary American fiction, with reference to modernism, meta-modernism and theories of intertextuality. Following on from the completion of his PhD in 2021, RJ began to explore and practise digital art. Having since taught himself digital painting and animation, his art seeks to explore the ways in which we experience the digital age in which we live - how the internet affects our senses of self, our bodies and the spaces we inhabit. Creating art on various blockchains since 2021, RJ’s work has been featured in various digital and physical group shows, as well as solo shows including ‘Crash’ (Verse, 2024), ‘Home Bodies’ (Objkt One, 2025), ‘The Consequences’ (Fakewhale, 2025) and ‘Waste.Land’ (Galerie Met, 2025).
