Jeremy Caniglia
Jeremy Caniglia is known for his emotionally charged and often unsettling work, which focuses on the human condition and our natural world. Striking, illuminating, foreboding, offensive, haunting and always poignant, Caniglia’s paintings wallow in the glories of expansiveness and of timeless places. His influences range from Caravaggio to Kathe Kollwitz. An avid activist for change, Caniglia supports the fight to take on the most pressing environmental issues facing our world. His themes and subjects include the climate crisis, threats to pollinators, diversity, inclusion and tackling equity issues of disparities in society. His studio is a small science museum and the models in his paintings are family members, friends, fellow artists, and sometimes himself. Caniglia studied under Brenda Jones at ISU, Grace Hartigan at the Hoffberger School of Painting, Dionisio Cimarelli at The Art Students League and Odd Nerdrum at the Nerdrum School.
