A minimalistic geometric abstraction, part of artist John Gardner's newest series of mixed media works. He meticulously hand cuts vintage paper, something that has become a defining characteristic of his repertoire. The work is collage and thread on heavyweight paper, with archival adhesive. It comes matted with an archival matte and backing. Artwork dimensions: 6"(h) x 6"(w) Matte dimensions: 10"(h) x 10"(w)


About the Artist
John’s meticulous collages are crafted from vintage materials such as old textbooks, magazines, found paper, and even embroidery. The resulting images exist in another world characterized by a magical, cinematic quality. Each piece creates a unique story that teeters on the edges of surrealism and science fiction. The viewer is left contemplating the relationship between the shapes and figures in the scenes. John’s collages are further marked by their clean aesthetics and precise execution. He is based in New York, where he is the Director of Visual Arts & Exhibitions at View Arts in the Adirondack Mountains.

  • Play Misty
    By Patricia Oblack
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    The inspiration for each and every painting is brought about through music ; every piece has a ;Voice; listed on the back which indicates the music involved in the process. When you receive the painting, read that information, purchase or obtain the music from a library etc. , listen to the music ; see what it inspires in yourself. Abstract is always open to the interpretations of the viewer. My work is acrylic with palette knife, there is a clear low sheen varnish on the front as well as the edges. Each piece is wired ; ready to install. This piece is composed of acrylic ; paint sticks on masonite board that is in a clear pine cradle with cross corner braces. This piece was painted to Clint Eastwood's - After Hours @ Carnegie Hall musical piece. Paint sticks are used for applying acrylic to the board which often results in multiple color sticks...

    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Framed with an archival mat and plexiglass with a dark maple wood frame. Framed dimensions are approximately 22 x 18 inches. Craighead describes his work as inhabiting a space between objective and nonobjective painting. The combination of these two worlds, serve as a matrix for what are essentially autobiographical paintings. He is interested in the symbolic potential of the objective world and the possibilities abstraction presents in suggesting the unknown. For a year in the mid-1990’s, circumstances forced Craighead out of his studio and he was left to work at a kitchen table on...
