"I Was Here"
The desire to leave a physical mark on one’s surroundings is a fundamental human impulse. It’s a small way of marking ownership of your part of the world and of leaving a legacy behind for the future. We see these kinds of personal marks carved into trees, rocks, or school desks; in gravestone markers or on memorials; and in graffiti and public art on city streets. Names or initials left behind help us to connect to people who came before us, who inhabited the same landscape, desk, or home, and wanted to us to know that they were once here.

John Paul O'Grodnick
John Paul O’Grodnick, better known as JPO, is a visual artist based in New York City, who is known for his vibrant and elusive painting style. JPO translates raw emotions into colorful, powerful and expressive works of art while visually connecting concepts of human perception. A native of Bridgeport, JPO’s passion for the arts emerged at a young age. He was inspired by the eclectic tastes of his father and sister, who introduced him to improvisational styles of music and meditation. JPO draws much of his inspiration from his zeal for the practice of meditation. When he paints, he channels his third eye. His work has been shown in galleries across the country and his murals, painted on famous walls in New York city. JPO has also collaborated with such brands as: GAP, MTV, The NBA, The Grammys, Lululemon, and Saks Fifth Ave.
