Jona Cerwinske is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, digital media, and large-scale installations. Born into a legacy of creativity – his grandfather a pioneering cartoonist and his formative years shaped by Miami’s top graffiti crews – Cerwinske developed a singular voice rooted in subcultures, satire, and street art. He was among the first graffiti artists to help transform Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood into a global arts destination, with murals that now line highways, clubs, restaurants, and the homes of music royalty.

Fusing graphic precision, graffiti typography, and imagery drawn from music, internet ephemera, and pop culture, Cerwinske’s work blurs the lines between high and low culture. His visual narratives challenge systems of authority and perception, often embracing the aesthetics of failure to critique mainstream values. With solo and group exhibitions across North America and Europe – and a growing footprint in digital and alternative art spaces – Cerwinske continues to evolve. 

In Dog Ate My Homework, Jona Cerwinske delivers a biting, irreverent, and visually arresting exploration of personal accountability, cultural deflection, and the absurdity of modern excuses. Drawing from pop culture, nostalgia, and the language of rebellion, Cerwinski’s latest body of work combines mixed media, digital manipulation, and layered text to subvert the idea of failure as something to be ashamed of – instead positioning it as fertile ground for creative invention. 

The exhibition acts as a satirical classroom, where conventional authority is questioned and the boundries between truth and fabrication blur. Cerwinske invites the viewer to reconsider the narratives we use to escape responsibility – both individually and collectively – and to find humor, absurdity, and even redemption in the stories we tell ourselves when things go wrong. 

Dog Ate My Homework is as much about what we hide as it is about what we reveal. Through bold colors, chaotic compositions, and unexpected materials, Cerwinske playfully deconstructs the myth of perception, replacing it with a celebration of the glitch, the mess-up, and the do-over.
