ALL IN

by CODY BISCHOFF

“I am a local Firefighter and graphic artist in Denver, Colorado. I primarily work in the space between graphic design and acrylic on canvas. After graduating Arizona State University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Digital Design, I began to sharpen my skills in computer design with a growing interest in surrealist painting and a life-long passion to become a municipal firefighter. I am currently 3 years into both of these endeavors and am loving every second. I have found that the contrast between the fast-paced adrenaline ride of running 911 calls and the calming, therapeutic qualities of painting are an incredible balance. As you will see, some of my life shines through into my art. I am very driven by the relationship between chaos and order, often bringing geometric and organic styles to the same piece, which usually includes a wild and enthusiastic background. This approach usually tends to give my art a paradoxical edge, especially with my aggressive use of warm and cool colors. I plan to continue growing my art business alongside my journey within the Fire Department, and continue to appreciate all the amazing and unique opportunities Colorado has to offer.”
