About

Jodi Gerbi is a representational oil painter living in New Jersey who depicts human resilience through her contemporary realist portrayals of garbage, trash cans, and drain pipes found in her daily life. She treats her figurative artwork in a similar way. Her subjects are caught sleeping on the subway or hunched over exhausted like the discarded objects she captures in the garbage and streets of New York.

Jodi has earned an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and a BFA from Syracuse University. Her work has been shown at the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago, Sotheby’s and the Flowers Gallery in New York as well as the gallery, MK Apothecary in Collingswood, New Jersey and Fort Works Art in Fort Worth, Texas. She currently paints at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, New Jersey.
