Artist Statement
Cezhan “Cézanne” Ambrose, known affectionately as Cez, is not only a musician, but a social activist artist whose journey has been as vibrant and dynamic as his creations. From his early days as a prodigious musician, Cez's passion for creative expression led him to explore the realms of both music and visual arts with equal fervor.
Having drawn musical inspiration from iconic figures like the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, and the Ramones, Cez embarked on a journey that took him from the familiar comforts of the San Fernando Valley to the vibrant streets of New York's East Village. As a founding member of @SpaldingRockwell, Cez made his mark in the music industry with a notable album release on @AUMFidelity Records, and his collaborations with esteemed acts such as @PrincessSuperstar, @KelliAliOfficial, and @ArtankerConvoy further cemented his reputation as a versatile and respected artist.
Amidst the challenges of the lockdown in 2019, Cez found solace and inspiration in the world of painting, a medium that spoke to his soul with its boundless possibilities for expression. Since then, his artistic journey has flourished, marked by a prolific output of works that resonate with his deep-seated convictions and observations of the world around him.
Cez's art serves as a poignant reflection of his unwavering commitment to social change, often juxtaposing elements of popular culture with profound societal issues. Through a masterful interplay of color, irony, and satire, his pieces invite viewers to delve deeper into the complexities of contemporary existence, provoking thought and sparking meaningful dialogue.
As he unveils his collection to the world, Cez invites you to join him on a journey of exploration and introspection, where art becomes a powerful tool for advocacy and transformation. His work is not merely a visual feast but a call to action, a testament to the enduring power of creativity in shaping a more just and equitable society.
