Jesse Morsberger

Bushwick, Brooklyn

Jesse Morsberger (b. 1994, New York City) is a Brooklyn-based painter whose work explores the intersection of memory, technology, and everyday life through the experiences of a generation raised alongside video games, anime, and the early internet. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, Morsberger transforms imagery associated with digital culture into the tactile language of painting. Glowing screens, game consoles, and domestic interiors recur throughout his work as emotional markers that examine how memory is shaped by both physical and virtual spaces. Morsberger received his BFA from SUNY Purchase in 2016. He was awarded a fellowship at Vermont Studio Center in 2020 and has participated in residencies at MeMeraki (2023) and The Moosey Residency (2026). His work has been exhibited in group exhibitions with Nicodim Gallery, Kravets Wehby, Andrea Festa, and JJ Murphy, and in the solo exhibitions Paradigm Shift at Taymour Grahne Projects (2023) and Crossplay at Cova Gallery (2024).
