JM RIZZI
Born: 1975, Brooklyn, NY
Graduated: School of Visual Arts, NYC, 1997 (BFA)
JM Rizzi’s art is a dynamic fusion of graffiti ethos and abstract expressionism, reflecting spontaneity and rhythm. Influenced by Franz Kline, Helen Frankenthaler, and Cy Twombly, he explores gesture, color, and collage to create bold, immersive works. His vibrant palette interacts directly with viewers, echoing pop art’s immediacy.
Rooted in New York’s 1990s street culture, Rizzi’s artistic journey evolved beyond subcultures, embracing spontaneity as a guiding force. Now based in Dallas, nature subtly influences his work, alongside urban inspirations. His latest series, Cause and Effect, merges abstraction with figuration, continuing his exploration of visual storytelling.
Exhibitions & Murals
Rizzi has exhibited globally, including solo and group shows in New York, Dallas, China, and Hong Kong. His large-scale murals and commissions span Rockefeller Center, Bushwick Collective, Nike, and luxury brands like Jimmy Choo.
