Jazzberry Blue

Jazzberry Blue is a self-taught artist living in Toronto Canada. I especially enjoy his travel paintings and he even has one from my favorite movie Dune, Featuring the Planet Arrakis. His hard edge painting feels graphic without being lifeless and his work is both political and often strikes an emotional tone. The use of composition is superb as he creates interest using only simple sillohettes and good color schemes. His choice of color tends to range from 1970's retro (which was mainly a brighter version of earthy colors and that dug heavily into brown, yellow and orange) to a more contemporary palette that utalizes brighter colors contrasted with shades of grey. In both cases there is a strong visual contrast between neutrals and bright colors ensuring visual interest. He also has a wide selection of t-shirts and tank tops. I think we can guess what's in my shopping cart.
