Artist Bio:
Employing innovative rhythms and his signature blazing palate, JD Deardourff creates bold, graphic, bittersweet compositions that riff on traditional genres of landscape, still-life, and portraiture. His screenprints, murals, and painting sdraw their inspiration from the vocabulary of comic books: exaggeration, energy, movement, contour line, the interplay of sequential images, and, most importantly, artificial color. He collages these elements to form a world that is simultaneously optimistic and apocalyptic.
In 2012, Deardourff received a BFA with an emphasis in printmaking from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied with Karl Wirsum, Gladys Nilsson, and Albert Oehlen. He has exhibited in Paris, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and his native Washington D.C. JD has been a PowWow Worldwide muralist, a Yaddo fellow, and the artist in residence at Strathmore Mansion and MoCA Arlington. In addition to his personal work, JD has collaborated with commercial clients including Amazon, Apple, Burton Snowboards, Capital One, Cava, Citizen M, DC Comics, The D.C. Department of Public Works, D.C. United, Eaton Workshop, Framebridge, Heineken, Hilton Hotels, Microsoft, Mellow Mushroom, MLB, Sam Adams, Sweetgreen, and Yelp.
