JACOPO DEGL’INNOCENTI

In 2010, Jacopo moved to New York City where he enrolled in courses at the School of Visual Arts Continuing Education Program in animation and illustration.

JOS STUMPE
Jos Stumpe was born in the Netherlands. He studied Language and Literature and worked for more than 20 years as an independent copy editor and graphic designer, editing policy studies for the Dutch government on topics such as infrastructure for aviation and water management.
After having put his creativity into translating other people’s ideas into word and image, Stumpe felt the need to create something of his own. The medium to realize this became clay. He studied ceramic design at The Glasgow School of Art, Scotland, graduating in 2012.
Having moved to New York City in 2012, he has been exploring other materials ─ metal and concrete, steel and soapstone─ to create sculptures, painting and prints at the National Academy School. These works express his fascination with the interaction between man and nature.
