JM Rizzi

JM Rizzi, who also goes by JMR, was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1975 and discovered his love of art at a young age. Drawing inspiration from the city around him and drawn to the emerging street art scene, he completed a Fine Art degree at the School of Visual Arts in 1997. He carried that vivid vision onto the streets, earning recognition in both street art and fine art. Today his work is iconic in his hometown of New York City and in Dallas, where he currently resides. Major commissions have taken his art around the world, with pieces in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. His work has appeared in street art books and in publications such as The New York Times, The London Times, The Wall Street Journal, Elle Japan, and Milk HK, and he has partnered with brands including Nike, Emilio Pucci, Proenza Schouler, and Jimmy Choo. Working with motion, scale, and color in fearless confidence, JM Rizzi builds a dynamic symphony of shapes and forms that pulse together. His paintings balance seriousness with sensuality while keeping the bold energy he is known for—the work of a mature painter at the height of his powers.
