John Palmer Art

Although for the most part self-taught, Houston Artist John Ross Palmer first studied art professionally at the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy in 2001. In 2003, he studied under Robert Venosa in Cadaques, Spain (the former home of Salvador Dali). Palmer spent the summer of 2004 working with Master Painter Philip Rubinov-Jacobson in the Austrian Alps. In 2005, Palmer studied mono-printmaking on Skopelos Island, Greece under the direction of California artist Linda Goodman. Other travels which inspired unique travel bodies of an artwork include his journeys to Cape Town, South Africa, Tokyo, Japan, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Berlin, Germany, Dublin, Ireland, Jerusalem, Israel, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Nice, France, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago and Havana, Cuba. In January of 2017, Palmer announced to his First Class Club that he will travel to Auckland, New Zealand in May of 2017. Even though Palmer is still considered to be a relatively young artist, he is already being featured at the museum level. From 2009–10, Palmer was honored to have the longest-running display in the history of the art museum at the Children’s Museum of Acadiana in Lafayette, Louisiana. The exhibit, “The Heads and Tales of Ten Presidents,” not only featured Palmer’s fine artwork but also incorporated an educational experience for the young men and women of Louisiana. Palmer took the time to go and paint with the kids to inspire confidence in their artistic ability from a young age. In the summer of 2010, Palmer was honored along with Houston Artist Chris Silkwood with a solo and collaborative exhibit at the historic Nave Museum in Victoria, Texas. The Nave has exhibited talented artists from around the globe, and, based on the statistics, experienced the highest volume of attendance in the history of the museum during the Palmer & Silkwood exhibit. The Museum of Coastal Carolina unveiled Palmer’s Ocean Isle Memories in April of 2016 followed by a run through Labor Day Weekend. The solo show highlighting the Texan artist garnered regional print and television media.

Artist: John Palmer
Large Gray, Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow Abstract Expressionist Painting
By John Palmer
Located in Houston, TX
Gray, red, sky blue, green, burnt orange, and yellow abstract geometric painting by Houston, TX artist, John Ross Palmer. This painting resembles Palmer's paintings from his early 2000 work, the Oxford Series. Unsigned. Unframed but framing options are available. The Oxford style was born in the mid-2000s after Palmer took a winter trip to London. After being moved by the history and formality of the British society during his journey, the paintings born in the aftermath contained a rigid structure. The canvas was often divided into quadrants with splashes of color (red, green, or yellow) in the center. The most tell-tale sign of the Oxford style is a background color of brown for all or part of the canvas. With the Classic Oxford style pieces, it is not uncommon to find a realistic trigger such as an arrow or a black-and-white checkerboard grid. With the Modern Oxford style, Palmer shows more fluidity and less structure. Lighter blues and purples appear. It’s similar to the evolution of the Modern Carnival style – as the artist matures, so does the confidence expressed through the style. Artist Biography: Whether the design is on canvas, metal, wood or paper, Houston Artist John Ross Palmer’s artwork is a testament to his energy, creativity, and passion for life. As Palmer the individual continues to grow, his artwork also maintains a beautiful evolution. From what started as two-dimensional abstract paintings on canvas, his depth of art offered in his Houston, Texas Art Gallery now includes original artwork on custom boxes, furniture, ceiling murals, salvage wood, neon, ceramics, jewelry, unique merchandise, and gifts. His inspiration for the art comes from his travels abroad as well as his local Houston Heights...
