Jay Batlle
Born	(1976-07-10) July 10, 1976 (age 49) Syracuse, New York

Jay Batlle is an artist born in 1976, who received his Bachelor of Arts from UCLA in 1998. He went to the Ateliers in Amsterdam from 1998 to 2000. Batlle's "epicurean" paintings, drawings, and sculptures take the habits of the gourmet as a source of inspiration and social commentary. His oeuvre offers both a critique of comestible-related decadence and a celebration of the preparation and consumption of food across various cultures.

Batlle's layered compositions often incorporate images and text from the food section of publications such as the New Yorker and the New York Times or stationery from restaurants around the world, as well as fragments of recipes, sketches, photographs, and other found objects. The resulting works are often finished off with coffee grounds, wine, and other food stains.

Batlle’s work has been exhibited at galleries and museums including Metro Pictures, the Chelsea Museum, Exit Art, The Dorsky Gallery in New York City, the Ausstellungshalle Zeitgenössische Kunst in Münster, (Germany), the National Museum of Fine Arts, Santiago de Chile, and at the Museum of Liverpool, United Kingdom. He is represented by 1000eventi gallery in Milan, Italy and works with Nyehaus, in New York and Clages, in Cologne.
