painting title: “Let Rivers Flow. #3” Oil. 550mm x 510mm 2019.
Here is how John feels is the best description of his relationship to Art and what drives his
work today...
“...a painting is directly related to how I feel, always evolving the subject or
a particular motive shifting as in a moving landscape of emotions, ideas,
experiences and imagination.
The freedom to paint without any set or formulated limitations is important to me.
To let go ! an outward expression, a transitional process leaving space ahead for
the spontaneous and the unexpected.
I allow the work develop, to come from it’s self, as it were. I aim for the entity of
the painting that evokes the emotions and warrants investigation.
