John Wood (b. 1945, Utah) is a Bay Area artist who currently resides in Emeryville, CA. He received his BFA in painting from the University of Utah in 1971, and an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1974. Wood’s abstract imagery is the culmination of his lifetime of work in art. His current work uses the human form as a starting point to build up layers of line, form and color in graphite, crayon, oil pastel and enamel. He strives to be as open and engaged as possible with the developing image, trusting that the art will lead him in the right direction. In the end, the work alludes to the human body symbolically, but Woods is much more interested in the emotional and sensual qualities that emerge rather than recognizable forms. In addition to producing his own art, Woods has inspired many through independent mural projects with children of all ages in Utah, New York, and California. He has taught at Cranbrook Academy Museum, through the NEA Artist-in-Education Program, as a private instructor for children’s art in New York and Salt Lake City, as a drawing and painting instructor at Farmington Community Center, and as head of the fine arts department at Judge Memorial Catholic High School in Salt Lake City. Woods has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States including Utah, New York, California, Colorado; and museums such as the Morris Graves Museum of Art, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Utah Museum of Fine Art, Springville Museum of Art, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum. His work can be found in public and private collections across the country such as American Express Company, Salt Lake City, UT, Amoco Production Company, Denver, CO, Bank of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, Digital Equipment Corporation, Salt Lake City, UT, Judge Memorial High School, Salt Lake City, UT, McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden, UT, Ray, Quinney & Nebeker, Salt Lake City, UT, Rich Passage Winery, Bainbridge Island, WA, St. Olaf’s Parish Church, Bountiful, UT, Saint Paul’s School, Clearwater, FL, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, Valley Home Medical, Layton, UT, E M Warburg Pincus, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA, and many more. Artist Statement John Wood’s beautiful abstract imagery is the culmination of a lifetime of work in art. His current work uses the human form as a starting point to build up layers of line, form and color in graphite, crayon, oil pastel and enamel. He strives to be as open and engaged as possible with the developing image, trusting that the art will lead him in the right direction. In the end, the work alludes to the human body symbolically, but John is much more interested in the emotional and sensual qualities that emerge rather than any recognizable forms. Mr. Wood began his education in Utah and earned an MFA degree in painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He has lived and worked in New York City as well as Florida and Utah before making the Bay Area his home.
