Jess Kellner is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice examines the complexities of the human condition through both visual and cinematic forms. His work moves fluidly between mediums, painting, film, and performance, each serving as a lens for exploring emotion, vulnerability, and connection. Rooted in a fascination with the tension between humor and introspection, Kellner’s practice balances levity with depth, capturing the contradictions that define contemporary life.

Though widely recognized for his work as an actor, Kellner has increasingly turned his focus toward storytelling behind the camera. His debut short film, Enough is Enough, marks a natural extension of his artistic inquiry, merging his intuitive understanding of character with a visual language shaped by empathy and observation. Across disciplines, Kellner’s work reflects an enduring pursuit: to understand what it means to feel, to laugh, and to exist together within the shared drama of being human.
