About the Item

Gary John's pop-street artworks have a whimsical, yet exciting and bold quality inspired by classic cartoon and comic book characters. Blending pop sensibilities with a roughened faux-naif street appeal, John's exuberant artworks are rendered with acrylic paint in a bold graffiti style. His choice of local newspapers or architecture paper, nods at the diverse Los Angeles neighborhoods that inspire him. Each artwork contains the unique quintessential symbols of Gary John, including references to the importance of a home, his admiration of Basquiat artworks, and his trajectory of fast growing, limitless international success. This colorful original pop-urban artwork on cardstock is 12 inches high by 9 inches wide. The artwork is signed and dated by Gary John in black along the lower left corner using the first two letters of his first and last names: "GA JO". This artwork is not framed. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Gary John has been a street artist since 1985. Originally from Seattle, Washington, he moved to Venice Beach, Los Angeles in 2003 and began selling on the Venice boardwalk. After almost 10 years selling his work on the boardwalk and experiencing “a bout with homelessness,” John first exploded onto the international art scene during Art Basel Miami in 2013. John’s playfully bold work quickly gained attention and he was named one of 20 standout artists at the 2014 New York Affordable Art Fair. His artworks continue to be exhibited at galleries and major international art fairs in the United States, Asia, and Europe. Notable collectors include Kelly Clarkson and Robert Downey Jr. He references this success in every artwork he makes. Along the left side of the artwork he paints a series of circles joined together by an arrow pointing up. Each circle represents a stepping stone on the path of success that keeps growing to greater heights. On the right side he depicts a line of houses, expressing the joy he finds in the stability of a home. John cites Pablo Picasso, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat as his artistic inspiration. Other influences are comic books and American pop culture. His original artworks add a new face to the continuous popularity of pop art. John says about his art: “I grew up in a dysfunctional home. I always got lost in my art as an escape. Art is my passion. There is not enough time in the day to do all the painting I want to do. I’m consumed with it.” REPRESENTATION Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, USA EXHIBITIONS 2023 “Urban Ecologies: Cities Are Built for Art”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA 2022 “Breakthrough Artists of the Affordable Art Scene”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA 2021 AAF New York, NY Kunstwarenhaus Zurich, Switzerland Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA 2020 Art Palm Springs, CA LA Art Show, Los Angeles, CA 2019 Art Palm Springs, CA AAF Hong Kong Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA AAF New York 2018 AAF Hong Kong Kunstwarenhaus Zurich, Switzerland AAF New York, NY “It Runs in the Family,” Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA Art Palm Springs 2017 Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles, CA Arteria Gallery Montreal, Canada 2017 Art Market San Francisco, CA Affordable Art Fair New York, NY 2016 Art Hamptons, NY Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong Affordable Art Fair New York, NY Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CA LA Art Show, Los Angeles, CA 2015 Artspace Warehouse, CA Affordable Art Fair Singapore Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA Art Hamptons, NY 2015 Affordable Art Fair London, UK Love Art Fair Toronto, Canada Affordable Art Fair New York, NY Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CA LA Art Show, Los Angeles, CA 2014 Red Dot Art Fair, Miami, FL Kunstwarenhaus Zurich, Switzerland Lurie Gallery, Los Angeles, CA Houston Fine Art Fair Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA Love Art Toronto Fair, Canada Stand Arte Gallery Madrid Affordable Art Fair New York, NY Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CA Affordable Art Fair London 2013 SCOPE Miami Beach, FL 2012 Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CA 2011 SOHO Gallery, Studio City, CA 2003-13 Abbot Kinney Art Walk, Los Angeles, CA 2008-13 Downtown Art Walk, Los Angeles, CA 2003-13 Venice Beach Boardwalk, Los Angeles, CA 1988-90 ‘COCA’ Center of Contemporary Arts, Seattle, WA TV & FILM The Flight Attendant, HBO How I Met Your Father, Hulu Insecure, HBO Cherish The Day, OWN
