Fine Arts | Mixed Media

Dan Jaboor is an American mixed-media artist whose collage-based practice blends vintage ephemera with contemporary imagery to create poetic, layered compositions. Working on paper, wood panels, found objects, and in digital formats, he combines aged photographs, typography, and printed materials into visual narratives that are fragmented, suggestive, and open to interpretation. His digital collages extend this lyrical approach, using photographs of vintage sources to reimagine historical imagery in modern contexts.

Jaboor’s work explores themes of memory, time, and transformation, along with gender roles, feminism, and duality. By placing figures and symbols in tension, he invites viewers to reflect on contrasts such as strength and vulnerability, tradition and subversion. His imagery can be contemplative or irreverent, often using wit and visual disruption to challenge familiar narratives and expectations.

Through the reuse of discarded and overlooked materials, Jaboor examines how meaning changes when objects are removed from their original context and reassembled into new stories. Beyond his studio practice, he writes about art, creativity, and music, and participates in community efforts supporting local cultural institutions. His work is shared through exhibitions, publications, original artworks, prints, and online platforms, reaching a broad and engaged audience.
