Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik is an artist living in Southern California. He cuts up comic books and reassembles them into work made of clean lines and patterns, sinuous shapes and sharp edges, large fields of color and small intimate spaces. Brynjegard-Bialik started cutting paper while living in Jerusalem. He has shown his work in galleries across the United States and is in the hands of private collectors around the world. He is on the Executive Board of Jewish Artists Initiative of Southern California, committed to fostering visual art by Jewish artists and promoting dialogue about Jewish identity and related issues. Brynjegard-Bialik is married to his high school sweetheart, Shawna, who is a rabbi in the Reform movement. Together they founded Paper Midrash, bringing together contemporary art, pop culture, and scholarship in custom workshops and residencies. They have three children, who often join Isaac in his studio!
