Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, an accidental artist, is renowned for his immersive mixed-media art exhibitions that seamlessly combine fine art, fashion, and film. Prior to his artistic endeavors, Corbell was a martial arts warrior who trained Jiu-Jitsu for most of his life, teaching seminars worldwide. However, a near-fatal respiratory disease changed the trajectory of his life, prompting him to find solace in art during his recovery.
Born in Los Angeles, Corbell is the middle of three brothers, son of an immigrant father who founded an importing business and a native Angeleno mother, daughter of a watchmaker. His full birth name, Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, holds significance, as his second middle name, "Lockyer", was given in honor of his Great Uncle, Edward Thomas Lockyer, a bare-knuckle prizefighter and grocer's assistant who tragically died in the sinking of the Titanic.
After graduating from Harvard-Westlake School in 1995, Corbell attended the University of California in Santa Cruz, where he earned a degree in Quantum Studies. A Black Belt in Jujitsu, Corbell taught Jujitsu and Yoga at the University of California Santa Cruz for many years, developing his trademarked styles of martial and healing arts, Quantum Jujitsu and Warrior Yoga. He has been featured in prominent martial arts and yoga publications, including Black Belt Magazine and Yoga Journal.
In 2001, Corbell released his first book, Radiant Source - Cultivating Warrior Consciousness, which outlines the foundational philosophy behind his approach to the Martial Way. Due to his expertise in martial arts and high-flying demonstration style, Corbell has been sought out to consult on various films, including I Am Number Four (2011) and Bunraku (2010),as well as video games such as the popular Ultimate Fighting Championship series. Lost Vegas (2014) marks Corbell's directorial debut.
