artist RJ creates digital paintings and looping animations exploring everyday life and our increasingly complicated relationship with technology. His deliberately simple visual language is part of the work.

His characters inhabit strangely familiar situations: scrolling through phones, sitting alone, socializing, travelling or simply passing time.
