Jojo Anavim is an American contemporary visual artist. Anavim's work features a blend of pop art and street-art influences and employs a large variety of materials and techniques including collage and acrylic paints.[1]
He was born to Persian-Jewish parents who emigrated from Iran prior to the Islamic Revolution in 1979.[1] Anavim's mother, a marketing manager, and his father, a jeweler, encouraged his interest in the arts. They enrolled him in art classes taught by Al Baruch, the Disney animator who created Captain Hook and Mighty Mouse.[2] As a child, Anavim was naturally drawn to design; namely the typography, juxtaposition and colorful artwork of commercial packaging.[3]
