André Rizé
Raised in Ohio, New York and California, André learned his technique through experimentation and practice.
He has been an artist all his life. As a kid you would always catch him with a drawing book. Later his art came out through distressed clothing and custom sneakers, until his hunger for a larger medium took over.
He makes large statement pieces on canvas that make you sit still and interpret, so each one takes on its own meaning for whoever is looking. He works with acrylic, oil, magazines, newspapers, posters, paints he mixes in the studio, and precious metal foils.
Every piece is made with love, sweat and consideration. Every stroke, scrape and letter is there for you, to lift you up and keep your mind intrigued.
