"ALTERISM"
A new form of expessionism ...
John started painting in 1992. He is self taught and his goal was to become proficient in all media. After doing this he ended up with this new style in acrylics.
After his cousin took him to Amsterdam and the Van Gogh museum in 2011 he was inspired to do his new style of over-saturating colours and cutting through the paint with the palette knife blending the layered colours randomly and creating a lot of movement.
His style is unique as it combines abstract and realism to create an image that from a distance looks very detailed but close up looks chaotic.
He calls his Style "Alterism" and is in the "Abstract Realism" genre.
John has sold over well over 200 paintings of all the media
John has a Metric education ( High School Diploma)
He also has an Intec Graphic design diploma.
Numerous private exhibitions
