No, Not Now Painting

John’s new body of work, created this past year, creates tension between tranquility and disruption / uncertainty and resolve. Various narratives and metaphors are used to connect and at the same time leave an element of mystery and discovery in the quest to attain a balance that can be so illusive. These fiberglass pieces allow for John to explore his passion for architecture as well. What is typically framing devices in the back, John has turned the framing into an abstract art piece as well to add to the visual depth of the piece - often creating either complex and/or simple structural additions to the backs of the paintings. Using resin and fiberglass for the painting’s surface naturally creates inconsistencies and adds to the narrative. The resin can evoke tranquility and yet become disruptive - the perfect and the imperfect in the quest for balance. This comes with a floating frame - maple wood with dove tail corners.
