Jeeten Patel

Jeeten Patel is a dark artist based in Mumbai, India who describes his artwork as “portals to dark-hollow Visual Snow world.”

According to Jeeten, “Visual Snow Syndrome is a neurological condition in which the world is full of flashing lights, flickering dots, and static vision 24/7—there is no escape, even when one’s eyes are closed. This world is characterized by Palinopsia—continuing to see an image after it is no longer in the field of vision, and Depersonalization—feeling detached from oneself and much more. Still curious?

        Jeeten told us that he “reconstructs fragments of [his] hollow world that have been corrupted by the darkness and reincarnates them into his artworks. The dream is reality & reality is the dream, this is quotidian normal but for normal ones it is abnormal. Your normal and this normal are dissimilar. If [he] sees zhyiak, you see it as red. One can understand this conventional red color, but this so-called zhyiak is bizarre for everyone else since [they] can't decipher it into normal terms but [he] can perceive it because [he] is living with it, born with it, for [him] this world is distorted, no concept of space-time exists, everything is always at same point and feels the same all the time."

        Jeeten exhibited for the first time in 2018 in Franklin St. in Manitowoc, Wisconsin with the Windigo Fest. He followed that as the only Indian to be a DAMNED artist and exhibited twice for the DAMNED “Exhibition of Enlightened Darkness” in Detroit, Michigan, USA, in 2018 & 2019. He is also associated as a Global Visual Snow artist by Visual Snow Initiative. Apart from his work as a dark artist, he holds a Master of Science degree in Mathematics from the premier institute—IISER Pune, India—which includes two research publications in Mathematical Finance cited in Harvard and NASA ADS. He also studied Master of Business Administration in Finance & Human Resource from a top-ranking institute—IIM Lucknow, India.
