John Gardner
Sound and Silence, Original Painting

2017

About the Item

Artist Comments
"Sound and Silence" is part of my newest series of mixed media works. I meticulously hand cut from vintage paper. The work is collage and thread on heavyweight paper, with archival adhesive. It is matted with an archival matte and backing but will require a frame for display. Artwork dimensions: 10"(h) x 8"(w) Matte dimensions: 14"(h) x 11"(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.

  • Death Head, Original Painting
    By Drew McSherry
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Drew McSherry pictures an enigmatic profile of a face. It appears to be a creature with its mouth agape. His process begins with loose sketching and blotting to achieve a smudged effect. Drew layers pastel over the work to enrich the darker colors.


    About the Artist
    Drew McSherry finds inspiration in the paranormal and the darker parts of life. His images contain a sense of the macabre and oftentimes feel fantastical. He currently lives in California and has been influenced by artists like Eug;ne Carri;re and Odilon Redon. Fun fact: when he;s not painting, he is working on a series of children;s books.
