Joseph Yaeger (b. 1986, US) currently lives and works in London. He received his BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008 and his MFA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2019.

An artist attuned to the vagaries of contemporary cultural memory, Joseph Yaeger’s practice can be thought of as a parallel investigation in the fetishisation of images in contemporary libidinal economies, and in painting’s contemporaneous agency in the transformation and circulation of the visible. The images in Yaeger’s works appear at first glance immediately recognisable and equally untraceable, an uncanny déjà vu.

Yaeger’s works has been featured in numerous key galleries, art fairs and academic institutions, such as Hauser & Wirth, Somerset, UK (Group, 2024); The Perimeter, London, UK (Solo, 2023; Group, 2022); Antenna Space, Shanghai, China (Solo, 2022); Frieze Los Angeles, US (2022); Art Basel Miami Beach, US (Solo, 2021; Group, 2020); Project Native Informant, London, UK (Solo, 2023, 2021, 2020; Group, 2023，2020); VO Curations, London, UK (Solo, 2020); David Lewis, New York, US (2022); The Perimeter, London, UK (2022); Mamoth Contemporary, London, UK (2020); Royal College of Art, London, UK (2019); Hockney Gallery, London, UK (2018) among others.
