Ogy Blue, winner of Best of Show at the Museum of Arizona Artists First Annual Juried show, Art and the City, November 2023

Opening Friday, February 2 – Closing March 1, 2024
Opening Reception – 6 to 9pm

Ogy Blue, a quirky, obsessively creative, self-taught artist makes art happen out of every element in his world from colorful sculptures and paintings to wearable art.
His whimsical work embodies a scary-cute cross between Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
One finds a feeling of optimism there, but edged with a wary awareness of the dark side.

Ogy Blue’s work traces and celebrates a life transformation from a spiritually dark period into the creative blossoming shown in this body of work.

The work is characterized by fluid, dynamic abstractions, pairing of opposites, cosmic fantasy and cartoon-comic villainy.
