Art + Pizza feat. Esteban Jefferson
Asylum's special evening in conversation with Esteban Jefferson, exploring new works at his Brooklyn studio.
May 6, 2025

Esteban Jefferson's practice centers around issues of race, identity and the legacies of colonialism. Using photography, drawing, painting, and sound installation as forms of documentation, Jefferson paints the focal points of his compositions in great detail, creating a stark contrast between the subject or object in focus and the surrounding environment. The paintings are left intentionally unfinished, creating a raw style emblematic of his investigative process. Esteban Jefferson was born and raised in NYC.
This is our third installment of Art + Pizza, inspired by a belief that founders are artists and artists are founders. The idea for this series is simple - we visit artist's studios to understand their creative process, method, and approach to making art. And we eat good pizza, so come hungry and thirsty.
