Bio

Jency Sekaran is a New York City-based multimedia artist exploring themes on intersectionality of identity. Combining many different techniques such as printmaking, embroidery, and ceramics, Sekaran is able to depict stories of the complexity of being a third culture person in America. 

Being an Indian woman in America, Sekaran struggled with adhering to both cultures which led her to create her own culture, a third culture. By depicting the female form breaking free of cultural and societal ideology, Sekaran evokes emotions of acceptance of multiple identities and freedom of choice.

In 2013, Sekaran received their BA in Art and minor in Biology from Augusta University, however, being raised by Indian immigrant parents, she followed her parents dream of being in the sciences. Receiving her Master in Public Health in 2017 from Georgia State University, science has heavily influenced her art by incorporating organic chemistry and beakers serving as a container for memory and emotion. 

In 2023, Sekaran had her first residency and solo exhibition, ‘She is....’ at Carroll Hall in Brooklyn, NY. She currently is represented by Atlantic Gallery, and has been in multiple group shows in New York City. Sekaran has been published in the Canvas Rebel and the Artist Talk magazine as well as been on the Scouted podcast..
