The Digital
Art of Jerry Hanzl evolved out of his diverse backgrounds in computers
and photography, along with commercial and fine art. He was educated
at the Cooper School of Art, Control Data Institute and the Art
Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. Now after many years of learning,
Jerry tries to blend all of his skills into a medium that can
only be understood as “painting with photography on a digital
canvas."
He first appeared
on the local art scene in 2007, at a one-man show for the
opening of his ”Taylor Panels”, a historical triptych.
These panels are in the
permanent collection at the Museum of History and Natural Science
in Cocoa, Fl. By 2009, Jerry had created a collection of work
which he featured in ‘Truth or Dare’ a two-artist
show, at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne,
Fl. Later that year, he received national attention when Art Business
News featured him as an ‘Emerging Artist.’ To further
showcase his digital creations, Jerry helped found, Art Gallery
of Viera.
Jerry is a surrealist at heart, in the spirit of Dali and Escher.
His surreal-scapes are fantasy worlds meant to be travelled through
with both the eyes and the mind.
