His approach to the figure is so unique, but it’s his fascination with the medium that really helps set his work apart. He geeks out about paint more than anyone I’ve ever worked with.

Joram strikes a balance between chaos and order, abstract and realism, to capture the grotesque beauty of life. Watching him paint is as inspiring as it is humbling.

Aryz has a variety of styles and abilities, but my favorites tend to be his graphic skeleton patterns. His simplified, repeating subjects create uniquely monumental works.

I had the opportunity to see Middle Fork in Seattle, which was an ambitious and inspiring piece. I appreciate an artist that values the process, from creation to decay, and considers much more than the finished object.

I love artists that don’t let their past work limit their future work. Curiosity leads to good things.
