Ross Caliendo (b. 1988, Pittsburgh, PA) is a visual artist living and working in Los Angeles, CA. Landscape, the primary subject of Caliendo’s work, functions as a vessel through which he investigates color and texture, crafting a precise symbiotic energy between the two. The artist synthesizes traditional elements of Surrealism with stylistic elements of Neo-Impressionism, creating natural landscapes that are at once familiar and untravelled. Caliendo earned his BFA at Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD), Ohio. Solo and two person exhibitions include CVG Foundation (Beijing), Ross+Kramer (East Hampton and New York), Grifter (New York), No Place Gallery (Columbus), Phil Gallery (Los Angeles) and Mayeur Projects (Las Vegas). Group exhibitions include SPURS (Beijing), LOYAL @ El Royale (Los Angeles), Moskowitz Bayse (Los Angeles), Night Gallery (Los Angeles), The Pit (Glendale), Tyler Park Presents (Los Angeles), Five Car Garage (Santa Monica), among others. In 2022, Ross Caliendo participated in the Fores Project Residency Program, which culminated in a group exhibition in London, UK. In the same year, Caliendo’s first institutional solo exhibition in Asia, entitled Realm, was held at the CVG Foundation, in Beijing, China.
