About

John di Domenico is an artist and architect interested in the relationship between visual and spatial space-making. He paints to explore ideas related to making as a tectonic, social, and political act. The works exist in an ambiguous zone between representation and abstraction using line, form, and color to tell a story.

For more than four decades, he has practiced architecture while painting. His works, referred to as “frames in time” by Robert C. Morgan, are a visual narrative of his design process and often draw on formal design ideas, client contact, and his studio practice.

di Domenico received a Bachelor of Architecture from The City College of New York and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He was a Fulbright Scholar at The Sapienza University of Rome and the recipient of private and public grants, including a National Endowment for the Arts design grant to study the Re-Use of Urban Infrastructure. di Domenico is currently on the faculty of the School of Architecture & Design at the New York Institute of Technology. Additionally, he serves on the board of Coney Island USA, a non-profit arts group that organizes the annual Mermaid Parade and whose goal is to “defend the honor of American pop culture.”
