JAI SOL

 

Visual Artist & Curator | Creating and Exhibiting Original Art Since 2002

 

 

OVERVIEW

Jai Sol is a British multidisciplinary artist, author, and founder of 101 Curation, exploring the intersection of art, philosophy, and technology.

​

Over the past 25 years, Jai has worked across more than 45 creative mediums, merging painting, photography, digital art, and AI to tell stories about spirituality, transformation, culture, and human consciousness. His collections — including Dreamworld, MAYA I, Blue Mehndi, Made in England, and Liberation Street — examine identity, emotion, and energy through modern forms of visual storytelling.

 

He has exhibited his work internationally to tens of thousands of people and built a strong community of collectors, supporters, and mentors who believe in his mission to make art more accessible, meaningful, and alive. Jai’s journey has been intentionally unconventional — moving outside traditional art and business systems to explore why art isn’t a natural part of everyday life and how it can be reconnected to it.

​

Through meeting and collaborating with thousands of artists worldwide, Jai has learned that creativity flourishes when freed from hierarchy and commercial barriers. This understanding inspired 101 Curation a new way to experience and collect art through intimate, in-person curation events that bring art directly into homes, workplaces, and private spaces.

At the core of Jai’s work lies one conviction: art is not decoration it’s transformation. It’s a bridge between the visible and the invisible, the personal and the universal a living dialogue between imagination, emotion, and human connection. Today, Jai continues to expand his practice, combining traditional methods with digital and AI-based techniques to explore new dimensions of artistic expression.

 

 

 

ARTIST STATEMENT

My art is born from transformation. After years of personal struggle and spiritual awakening, I found a way to turn pain into purpose through creativity. I work with photography, painting, digital tools, and mixed media to tell stories about identity, culture, and unseen forces that shape us.

As a British-born Indian, my work is deeply influenced by emotion, spirituality, and connection. Each piece serves as both a reflection and an invitation, a reminder that life itself is art, and that beauty exists everywhere when we learn to see it.

ORIGIN

Jai grew up in a working-class town in Northern England, surrounded by resilience and diversity. His early experiences taught him to observe people deeply, their struggles, strengths, and stories. Art became his way to process life, to make sense of emotion and complexity that words could not express.

​

Throughout his youth, he drew, wrote, and imagined constantly, developing an early awareness of art as survival rather than hobby. He later attended several universities, studying fine art, graphic design, stained glass, and animation, though he never sought qualifications. Instead, he used those years to question, explore, and challenge convention.

 

Over time, he realised that creativity was not something to learn, but to remember. That understanding led him into a period of retreat, where he spent sixteen years in near solitude producing thousands of works. This period formed the foundation of his practice art as consciousness and communication.

 

 

 

EVOLUTION

Jai’s evolution has been defined by self-discovery and resilience. Living with learning differences such as dyslexia and dysgraphia, traditional systems of communication often felt restrictive. Art became the language through which he could express thought and emotion freely.

 

His early works were raw and personal, exploring identity and transformation. As his confidence grew, he experimented with styles, mediums, and technologies, collaborating with musicians, designers, and thinkers. Each stage of his career reflected a new layer of growth from local exhibitions to international presentations.

 

Jai has continually redefined his relationship with art. Whether exhibiting in temples or curating private events in London, he has remained committed to honesty, curiosity, and experimentation. His process is fluid, constantly adapting to new perspectives and technologies.

MASTERY

Jai’s mastery comes not from formal training but from experience, discipline, and observation. He merges traditional techniques with digital processes to create art that feels both timeless and contemporary.

 

His method is built on curiosity — observing people, nature, and energy to understand how emotion translates into form. Each composition is layered with symbolic meaning, drawn from both Western and Eastern visual traditions.

 

For Jai, mastery is not about control but clarity. It is the ability to communicate something real and allow the viewer to complete the story through their own experience. His work is the product of two decades of exploration, driven by a belief that true artistry is found in exchange the moment art connects creator and observer.

 

 

 

VISION

Jai’s vision is that art should not only be admired but lived. He believes creativity is a universal tool for awareness, reflection, and transformation. His work seeks to reveal beauty beyond aesthetics — in emotion, thought, and spirit.

 

He challenges traditional systems that confine art to institutions or markets, striving instead to create direct and personal experiences between artist and audience. Through projection, augmented reality, and immersive storytelling, Jai explores how technology can deepen rather than replace our connection to nature and each other.

 

His long-term project, 101 Creation, brings together two decades of research, writing, and exhibition. The accompanying philosophy, 101 Ways to See Art as Your Life, encourages people to rediscover creativity as a means of living consciously. Through his evolving platform, The 101 Creation Experience, he transforms art into a shared, participatory process that helps people see life itself as creative expression.

 

 

 

CONNECTION

Jai’s journey began with intimate, local exhibitions in Lancashire — temples, churches, care homes, markets, and working men’s clubs. These community-based shows shaped his understanding of art as conversation, not performance.

 

As his career expanded, his work reached wider audiences. His visuals have been projected to over 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium and viewed by more than two billion globally. He has exhibited alongside the British Royal Family, The Prince’s Trust, and the Prime Minister of India. In 2019, Jai opened his first gallery in Manchester, creating a space where art, conversation, and experience intertwined. He hosted private viewings and dinners with Michelin-star chefs, curated collaborative installations, and provided space for other artists to create and exhibit.

 

A year later, he established a second gallery in Soho, London, dedicated to private collectors and creative professionals. The gallery became a space for intimate encounters with art and ideas. Though both galleries have since closed, their legacy remains in the relationships built and the experiences shared.

 

 

 

LEGACY

At the heart of Jai’s legacy is his belief that art should be accessible and inclusive. His work reflects the real and the raw, bringing beauty into spaces often overlooked by the mainstream art world.

​

He has inspired a generation of creatives to embrace individuality, to use art as a tool for connection, healing, and empowerment. Through projects such as Real Divine and his art education initiatives in India, he has shown that art’s greatest purpose lies in its power to uplift and unite.

 

Jai’s legacy is not only the art he has created, but the lives it has touched. His journey stands as proof that authenticity endures beyond fashion or fame  that art made with integrity can change how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

 

 

 

HE 101 CURATION MANIFESTO

101 Curation is Jai Sol’s vision realised, a living philosophy that redefines what art can be. For Jai, art is not a product to be displayed but a conversation to be lived. 101 Curation exists to dissolve the barriers between creator and audience, replacing the exclusivity of the traditional art world with connection, dialogue, and shared experience.

 

It is Jai’s belief that art is a way of seeing life, a transformative force that shifts perception, inspires action, and reconnects us to beauty, meaning, and each other. Through 101 Curation, Jai offers more than art; he offers a new way of living with art at its heart.

This is an ecosystem of creation, collaboration, and transformation. It is where the artist, the artwork, and the audience become part of a shared journey. It is a space where imagination is not a luxury but a necessity, where every encounter becomes a step toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world.

 

101 Curation is Jai’s invitation: to step beyond the traditional gallery, to enter a world where art is personal, immersive, and alive. A world where you are not just a spectator, but a participant in the creation of meaning.
