ABOUT JOHN SLABY
Working in oils, John Slaby’s paintings are
noted for their highly conceptual nature and
attention to realistic detail. His art often focuses
on the human condition and the shared
experiences of life. The connection created
between the art, the artist and the viewer is, for
him, the role of the artist and the core of his
spirituality.
