JONNY DETIGER
In the hands of New York artist Jonny Detiger, conversations, chance encounters, thoughts and projections merge into a happy, delirious stream of consciousness strewn across the canvas. Through a mix of paintings and moving sculptures this work explores human interactions through a kaleidoscope of iconic imagery, text, color and light.
Jonny Detiger is an artist and designer who through his work, has explored the understanding and communication of the human condition of happiness. Through the use of shape, sound, smell and color he designs living art environments that heighten this positive state of mind.
Detiger received his degree in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh. He is a Dutch, self-taught artist that lives and works in New York City. He has been painting and designing since the early 90’s and has collectors from Spain, Holland, Norway, Germany, and throughout the United States.
