Isaac Paris

In an effort to be more environmentally aware and having a desire to do something creative and useful with discarded materials, Isaac Paris has combined his love for collecting African masks with creating masks mainly from plastic containers and other recycled materials. Most recently specializing in creating masks that resemble familiar animal forms, and possible extinct ones, Paris’ diptych entitled Long Ears will be featured in the exhibition Go Figure!, on view from February 17 – March 16, 2022. Isaac Paris is also a skilled painter. His hyperrealist portraits are often superimposed on a solid sky-blue background, and at times include tree branches that inform the outline of the figure.  

 Isaac Paris was born in Trenton NJ and studied Graphic Arts & Design at Pratt Institute, then later received a BFA with Honors, in Communications Design from Parsons School of Design. Paris has enjoyed making his living as a graphic designer, art director, and teaching in the communication design department at Pratt Institute, Parsons School of Design, and the Fashion Institute of Technology.
