About the Item

Dimensions: 39h x 33w in 45h x 39.5w inches plexiglas frame. Andre Miripolsky's keen understanding of pop imagery and energy has resulted in collaborations with Elton John (famous Central Park "Piano Key" costume and 1997 stage acts for his "Tonight Show" appearance), Bette Midler (album package/visual design for her worldwide "DeTour"), Quincy Jones, rolling Stones, Gato Barbieri, robin Williams, Beastie Boys, Cheap Trick, MTV and "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. Commissioned by MTV's "Rock and Jock B-Ball Jam," Miripolsky made basketball history by painting a mural directly on UCLA's center basketball court at Pauley Pavillion. Its colorful presentation became the top-rated show of the '92-'93 MTV Season, creating something never seen before or since. From 1997 - 2004, Miripolsky was commissioned by NBC's "The Tonight Show" to create and paint a considerable collection of huge scenic paintings and floors for the guest bands' segment of the show. This was the first time in the over 50 year history of "The Tonight Show" that NBC commissioned an outside visual artist to create original scenic art of this scale. The work has since appeared on well over one hundred broadcasts playing with a dazzling variety of musical artists, and creating a groundbreaking concept in television production values. An "Absolut Artist of the '90s," Miripolsky created his inaugural Absolut Vodka ad in 1991. Since then he has been involved with several successful campaigns for this company. In 1996, Absolut invited Miripolsky to paint live on their world wide web site. The resulting art show was broadcast for an entire week as part of their "Human Ant Farm" endeavor. In the fall of 1997, San Francisco saw its landmark billboard go day glo for Absolut Miripolsky. The billboard was so well received, it stayed up for the next two years. In 1998, Miripolsky combined his ecological commitment with his graphic vision when he created the visual look for ElectroBike, an American electric bicycle manufacturer. He also created a custom art paint job for a special limited edition "Captain America" motor-canvas ElectroBike. He continued to have one man art shows throughout the '80s and '90s. In the Spring of 2000, Miripolsky was invited to have a 25 year career retrospective showing at the Vincent Price Gallery at East Los Angeles College. Included were choice examples of his various creative directions spanning three decades, all represented in a full-color oversized catalog produced with state of the art printing technologies. In 2002 and continuing through 2007, Miripolsky collaborated with the multinational Terumo Medical corporation, the world's largest blood products manufacturer. He was asked to take the shape of their blood collection bag and graphically give it his unique touch. In a field of very conservatively packaged products, his successful involvement created a mini design revolution in the industry. He accepted a challenge and persevered. Starting in 2004 and continuing into 2005, Miripolsky was asked to rebrand the look and identity for the Jewish Chabad's "L'Chaim To Life" internationally broadcast telethon. Not only did he introduce color, but it was day glo with blacklight. His vision of new life and energy was radical, yet somehow very human, embracing, and extremely well-received. In 2005, Miripolsky was asked by the famous toy company Mattel if he would lend his unique approach in creating a one-of-a-kind "Art Barbie." This challenge was exhilarating for the opportunity to work with such a universal icon. The results were both glamorous and glittering. This Miripolsky "Art Barbie" will make her debut in the near future. In conjunction with the revolutionary redevelopment of Downtown Los Angeles, Andre Miripolsky was commissioned in 2005 by the Central City Association of L.A. to create a large 3-D wall sculpture depicting his vision of the exploding Downtown L.A. skyline. This image, coupled with his phrase "Viva L.A." has blossomed to much acclaim and is very well on its way in the branding of the new and improved Downtown L.A. In 2006, attracted by the "ViVA L.A." imprint, Bentley Prince Street, one of the USA's premiere carpet manufacturers licensed the phrase "ViVA L.A." and partnered with Miripolsky to create and produce an innovative line of both broadloom and carpet tile under the "ViVA L.A." banner. The response has been magnetic as the signature carpet collection makes its way in the marketplace. Continuing his long-time vital collaborations with ever-widening musical idioms, Miripolsky in 2007 created a performance art piece for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. In exactly 36 minutes, Miripolsky painted a 7 ft. x 24 ft. image depicting his interpretation of Maurice Ravel's "Mother Goose Ballet" surrounded by the overwhelming sound of an 87-piece orchestra.
