Jess Valice (b. 1996, Los Angeles, CA) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work navigates the landscapes of grief, loneliness, empathy, and the quiet complexities of human nature. Working primarily in oil on linen and canvas, and drawing in graphite and charcoal, Valice’s practice expands into video installation with her upcoming projects, continuing her exploration of emotional undercurrents and the invisible weight of unfinished business.

​

Driven by a sense that the scientific framework of her formal studies in neuroscience was insufficient in capturing the subjective and emotional realities of human experience, Valice pivoted to art. Through her intimate, stoic portraits and psychologically charged spaces, she gives form and voice to the often unspoken and unseen facets of existence, examining themes of isolation, vulnerability, and the elusive myth of belonging.

​

Valice has garnered international visibility through recent exhibitions at Almine Rech (New York, 2024; Paris, 2025), Carl Kostyál Gallery (London, 2022; Milan, 2021) and Bill Brady Gallery (Los Angeles, 2021). Valice's work has been presented at prestigious art fairs including Art Basel Miami Beach, ART021 and Paris+ Art Basel.
