James Rizzi

Art lovers take note! James Rizzi, also and better known as the master of naive and contemporary art, brings cheerfulness, joy, and plenty of color into your rooms through his pictures. James Rizzi was born in New York in 1950 and is an American artist. James Rizzi is a Pop Art artist who has earned a worldwide reputation with his naive art. His paintings very often feature his hometown of New York and its citizens as a motif. The paintings are generally of a downright childlike, naive structure, which allows him to count admirers of all ages among his own. Rizzi's pictures embody pure optimism and therefore fit perfectly into any child's room, living room, or any room that is meant to radiate cheerfulness.

Urban Primitive Artist

But it is not just pictures and paintings that come from his hand; Rizzi's unmistakable art can also be found on stamps, trains, cars, and buildings. As the multicultural son of an Irish mother and an Italian father, he grew up in the Brooklyn borough of New York and did not necessarily have a sheltered childhood. Coming from rather poor circumstances, he began very early on to absorb the longings, hopes, and wishes of a multitude of people, to which he later gave pictorial expression. It was only much later, when he was studying at an art university in Florida, that James Rizzi developed his very own, almost childlike, naive style of art, for which he ultimately became known worldwide. The art press even gave him the nickname "Urban Primitive Artist" for it.

James Rizzi on everyone's lips

Rizzi can now record numerous projects, exhibitions, books, and business deals with globally known companies such as VW or Condor in his artistic biography. Due to his worldwide fame, especially in the art scene, his works are not exactly cheap. The largest graphic by Rizzi of all time bears the name "Nothing is as pretty as a Rizzi City" and reflects the image of his beloved hometown of New York, which he affectionately calls Rizzi City. Before the release of his masterpiece, two-thirds of the total edition were already sold out, despite the rather high price of 9,600 euros. By the way, with his art, Rizzi is also a prime example of the fact that one can still earn a lot of money with art in pictures in this day and age.
