GEOGRAPHICAL ART

Ben Rizzo (Born 1990, New Jersey) is a visual artist living and working in downtown Manhattan New York. His work exposes concealed societal barriers, beautifying that which is dead or discarded. Rizzo deconstructs traditional Hinderglas painting through a technique the artist calls pallet painting, in which paint is rendered from glass to canvas through a unique drying process. The subject is released. Rizzo's melodic exploration of color combined with his definite use of shape-forms are arranged to create an experiential landscape of the afterlife. He holds a degree from James Madison University in Arts Education.
