One hip chick. We’re excited to have @bailzy on our 2019 @bright_walls artist roster. See her and the rest of the talented artists paint in downtown Jackson Sept. 5-10, 2019. #brightwallsjackson
Bailey is a Texas-raised artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her work re-interprets the ordinary through simplistic shapes, symmetry and bright colors. Inspired by nature, her illustrations often feature florals and animals. She has worked with a variety of clients including @Facebook, @Amazon, @PlannedParenthood, @JetBlue, @Loweshomeimprovement, Tesco and @Refinery29. She is now experimenting with translating her work to textiles and other tangible mediums. Please join us in welcoming @bailzy to the 2019 Bright Walls Artist Roster. #BrightWallsJackson
@zoerism’s paintings are based on the combination of his photographic memories, from where he draws the inspirations for the scenes, objects and letters they represent. His compositions evolve as he travels and meets new people. Zoer paints all his murals with acrylic paints, which helps him create the detail. We’re looking forward to having Zoer on our artist roster. Visit downtown Jackson Sept. 5-10 to see Zoer and the rest of the artists at work. #BrightWallsJackson
Meet @zoerism from Palermo, Italy. 🇮🇹 Zoer gives a different look at spaces, objects, and substances by detaching them from their functionality. He goes by a pseudonym to highlight his creations rather than his identity. Trained as an industrial product designer, he became interested in street art and painting in the early 2000s. He is particularly passionate about scrapped cars, boats and crumpled sheet metal with imperfect reflections. He portrays these elements in his paintings, evoking a poetic delicacy that may not otherwise be seen. We're excited to welcome Zoer to the 2019 #BrightWallsJackson roster. Drop him a big exciting hello in the comments below! 🏎️⬇️
What’s behind door 1? Only @joe_geis and @itsjeremiahb know the answer to that. We’re looking forward to having this creative duo leave their colorful mark on a downtown Jackson wall this Sept. 5-10, 2019. #brightwallsjackson
By day, @joe_geis and @itsjeremiahb partner as the co-directors of WeWork’s global art and graphics team in New York City. Their team is responsible for the design, creation, and curation of WeWork’s global art program. Outside of that, both Joe and Jeremiah each have their own practice as designers and artists working on range of personal studio projects and freelance commissions. Joe’s personal work explores the balance and movement of line, shape, and negative space mixed with color, illustration, and environmental installation. His artwork has been shown in gallery shows and festivals across the country, while his art and illustration has been commissioned by everyone from De La Soul to one of the nation’s largest food festivals, EatsCon. Jeremiah’s work pushes the boundaries of contemporary graphic design and fine art through typography, pattern, and collage. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and public mural festivals, while his graphic design work has been commissioned by brands such as AOL, West Elm, and Samsung. While Joe and Jeremiah spend their days building and managing a global team, this will be the first time the two of them have collaborated on a large scale art installation in over a year. We are excited to have them join us at Bright Walls to share some of their new work together. Please join us in welcoming @joe_geis and @itsjeremiahb to the 2019 Bright Walls Artist Roster. #BrightWallsJackson
