About this work

Jojo Anavim has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary pop art, building upon the legacy of appropriation while carving out a visual language entirely his own. Working from his New York studio, Anavim layers cultural signifiers with bold graphic elements, creating works that interrogate consumer desire and the semiotics of luxury. His pieces have found homes in prominent private collections and continue to generate interest among collectors drawn to art that balances conceptual depth with immediate visual impact. "Enjoy The Sweet Life" exemplifies Anavim's mature practice, presenting the Coca-Cola bottle as both artifact and aspiration. The work commands attention through its scale and the artist's characteristic synthesis of mediums—acrylic providing structural color, spray paint lending atmospheric gradation, and textural applications creating a tactile surface that rewards extended viewing. The title functions as both invitation and critique, echoing advertising vernacular while prompting reflection on how brand mythology shapes contemporary experience. This 2025 canvas demonstrates Anavim's continued exploration of American commercial imagery, a thematic throughline that connects his body of work while allowing for formal experimentation. The deliberate tension between pristine product representation and gestural painterly intervention speaks to the push and pull between mass production and individual artistic expression—a dialogue central to pop art's ongoing relevance. At 48 by 60 inches, the work possesses gallery presence suitable for both residential and institutional settings, its dimensions allowing the subject to exist at near life-size monumentality.

About the Series

Jojo Anavim's Paintings series encompasses his large-scale acrylic works — the primary dimension of his practice and the works that have attracted the most serious collector attention. These paintings deploy the visual vocabulary of American consumer culture, street art, and contemporary graphic design at a scale that commands attention and rewards sustained looking.

Anavim works primarily in acrylic on canvas, building chromatic intensity through multiple layers of paint and finishing with a surface quality that sits between the matte flatness of street art and the glossy finish of commercial printing. The result is work that feels simultaneously familiar and unexpected: images from the shared visual culture of contemporary American life rendered with a formal confidence and material presence that elevates them into serious painting.

His recurring subjects — food culture, cartoon characters, Americana, leisure iconography — are treated not as subjects for ironic commentary but as genuine formal and chromatic occasions, each one an opportunity to test the visual intelligence that distinguishes his practice.

Works are priced in the range of $5,000–$30,000 depending on scale. Contact Guy Hepner for current availability.

About Jojo Anavim

Jojo Anavim is a New York based artist raised on Long Island, where he developed an early fascination with branding, packaging, and American consumer culture. As a child, he studied under Disney animator Al Baruch, the creator of Captain Hook and Mighty Mouse, an experience he credits with giving him the confidence to pursue art seriously. He went on to study at Hunter College and later built a career as a graphic designer, working on campaigns for brands including W Hotels, Sephora, and Universal Music Group.

Anavim transitioned to fine art full time in 2013, bringing his design background directly into his painting practice. His work combines acrylic, oil stick, collage, and found materials, including vintage advertisements and packaging he has collected since childhood, layering them into dense, textured compositions. Bold color and repetition run throughout his work, transforming familiar consumer objects, from candy wrappers to logos, into something closer to personal artifact than advertisement. His paintings often carry a nostalgic charge, drawing on the specific branding and packaging of his own upbringing.

Anavim's work is held in institutional and private collections including the Coca-Cola Archives Museum, Madison Square Garden, and the New York Yankees, and he has completed commissions for prominent athletes, musicians, and public figures.
