Miripolsky

Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Andre Miripolsky loves his city  and uses his talent and keen understanding of pop imagery  to showcase  LA’s energy and vitality. 

Born in Paris; raised in Iran, Thailand, Austria, France, Indonesia, and Korea; he has worked on both coasts and is internationally recognized for pushing the limits in everything he touches. His exuberant and whimsical style  has been featured on entire buildings, busses,  billboards, basketball courts, as set design,  mobiles, costuming for celebrities,  in paintings, sculpture, and now, NFTs!  

He was educated at CalArts in L.A., but his rise to real art stardom began in 1980 in New York City,  creating art and costumes for superstars like Elton John (the famous 1980 Concert in Central Park “Piano Keys” costume) and Bette Midler. That success was soon followed by commissioned work for Quincy Jones, The Rolling Stones, and sets for “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno.

Recently, Andre  has expanded his love affair with LA superstars,  this time in the form of his "LA Sharks" series with its accompanying gallery Prickles and Skulls  - a body of work which embodies all the dynamism, energy, and humor which Andre loves about LA and all its characters.   

We invite you to explore the website, the many series of paintings, press articles, and more, as you enter the wonder of Andre’s Kingdom of Color!
