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 New York City in the 1990s, Rizzi’s ever-growing practice explores abstraction through illegal art forms and movement. He has painted murals in New York; Borås, Sweden; and Shenzhen, China; and produced limited-run collections with Infinite Objects and Detroit-based publisher 1xRun. Rizzi’s practice skips, slides, and glides across surfaces, leaving behind polished paintings. His work produces exchanges between sight and sound and between positive and negative space, drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as jazz music, Robert Motherwell, Wu-Tang Clan, and Texas sunsets.
