The Artist

JPO by John Paul O'Grodnick

John Paul O'Grodnick, known as JPO, was a visual artist based in New York City. His vibrant, elusive paintings translate raw emotion and connect concepts of human perception, drawing on influences from his father and sister's eclectic tastes, improvisational music and meditation.

His work has shown in galleries nationally, with murals painted on famous walls in New York City, and brand collaborations including GAP, MTV, The Grammys, Lululemon, Saks Fifth Avenue and Maxim Magazine.

At The Knowlton, O'Grodnick painted the mural JPO and served as the Knowlton Walls mural park's original curator.
