JM Rizzi is a Brooklyn-born and Dallas-based artist working in large-scale murals, public sculpture installations, and mixed-media canvases. A gestural expressionist since he started writing graffiti as a teenager in 1990s NYC, Rizzi’s ever-growing conceptual practice explores the multitudinous angles to abstraction through illegal art forms and movement. Rizzi has painted murals worldwide, from Rockefeller Center in New York City to Boras, Sweden, and Shenzhen, China. Rizzi’s practice skips, slides, and glides across surfaces, leaving polished paintings in its wake. His work's journey started last millennium with a looping trail of spray paint that caught a life of its own and never looked back. Rizzi's paintings are exchanges between sight and sound, encapsulating inspirations like jazz music, Motherwell, Wu-Tang Clan and Texas sunsets. These brazen arrangements ask questions only to answer them moments later—an animated conversation between positive and negative space facilitated by rhythm. Read more about JM Rizzi.
