John Barthe

I am an abstract artist based in New Orleans. I am a self-taught painter and I have sold many paintings to collectors from LA to New York and all cities in between. A local bank here in New Orleans just recently purchased ten of my original paintings which now hang in their corporate office. I usually work in acrylic, but more recently have been experimenting with oil pastels, crayons and multi-media objects-like 100+ year old wall paper I found recently at relative's old home in the French Quarter. My current favorite living artist is the Irish painter, Brian Harte. He reminds me of another Irish artist that I love, Francis Bacon. I am also a huge fan of Caravaggio and his use of light, so my tastes are all over the place.. I truly appreciate you taking your time to stop and take a look at my paintings, it means a great deal to me and please send me a message if you ever have any question concerning my artwork. Thanks and take care!

Self-Taught

I have sold many painting in my short "career" as a painter, with most of my art going to the West Coast for some reason. But, I have sold paintings to several collectors from here in New Orleans to NYC, Miami, Atlanta and all over the United States. I have ten paintings hanging at a bank here in New Orleans as well.
