JP Terlizzi (American, b. 1962) is a New York City photographer whose contemporary practice explores themes of memory, relationship, and identity. His images are rooted in the personal and heavily influenced around the notion of home, legacy, and family. He is curious how the past relates and intersects with the present and how the present enlivens the past, shaping one’s identity. Born and raised in the farmlands of Central New Jersey, JP earned a BFA in Communication Design at Kutztown University of PA with a background in graphic design and advertising. He has studied photography at both the International Center of Photography in New York and Maine Media College in Rockport, ME. JP’s highly acclaimed still life work is known for its distinctive use of style, pattern, texture, and color. He uses food and objects that serve as memory that link to a foundation in family tradition, history, and culture.
His work has been exhibited extensively in galleries and museums across the United States and abroad including juried, invitational, and solo exhibitions notably at Foto Relevance Gallery, (Houston, TX), Sohn Fine Art Gallery (Lenox, MA), Vicki Myhren Gallery at the University of Denver, The Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA), Panopticon Gallery (Boston, MA), Candela Gallery (Richmond, VA), The Los Angeles Center of Photography, University Gallery at Cal Poly, among others.
