The award winning contemporary abstract painter Jodi Fuchs has painted music video and video sets (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Barton Fink), the homes of celebrities (Patricia Arquette, Candice Bergen, Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, Burt Bacharach), and spa and resort properties (The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Lodge at Vail). Several of her projects have appeared in Architectural Digest. Jodi won Archstone Apartments “Art of Santa Monica Contest” in 2010, and was awarded free gallery space @2000 Main St. for six months of. Jodi’s main studio in Santa Monica as in an old airplane hangar converted to creative spaces; this is where she worked for nearly a decade. She participated in ten art walks and even more open studio tours while in residency in Santa Monica.
Currently, she focuses on creating modern abstract expressionistic pieces that have an undeniable energy. It is her intention to create pieces that inspire and uplift both the spaces where the work hangs and the people who see it. It is her fascination with the pure creative force: harnessing it, expressing and understanding it, that fuels her painting process. Jodi calls her paintings “Spiritual Graffiti” because her work flows between lyrically narrative and pure abstraction pieces incorporating her personal iconography of meaning. As a painter Jodi aspires to bridge the gap between the tangible and the unseen. She paints from the inside out. The process begins by laying down color, then words come to mind, followed by numbers and finally images pop in. She is available for sales of original paintings, site specific commissions, prints of original work on paper, canvas and other substrates.
