Biography

Jonathan Ryan Harvey is a self-taught contemporary artist that effortlessly portrays moods through a visual language of colors, shapes, and form. While Harvey has always been inspired by famed artists like Jean Michel Basquiat and Cy Twombly, his relationships and surroundings serve as his biggest influences.

Harvey grew up in the Arizona desert, and lived in both New York City and Southern California where he often basked in the melting pot of cultures around him.

"My living environments impact my work the most," says Harvey. "I pull from the beauty and brutality of these environments to create. My works often references my love for graffiti, ambient music, and the wild color palette of these daily desert sunsets."

Harvey's goal is to create alluring artwork that provokes intricate feelings within the viewer. He achieves this through experimentation, often allowing the exciting blend of mediums or the unfamiliarity of new materials fuel his creativity. "My creative process is all about experimentation. I like to surprise myself and avoid repetition. I am always pushing myself to avoid complacency. I am most satisfied when I realize my vision through paths I've never taken before." His authentic spirit and expressive determination sets him apart from the crowd. "Considering what life can throw at you, it's easy to quit, but I feel my most important accomplishments are still to come." -Jonathan Ryan Harvey
