John Gardner

Scepter, Original Painting

Artist Comments
Artist John Gardner displays a modern abstract with elements of geometric minimalism. The figurative symbols explore the connection between vision and reality. The scepter functions as an instrument that connects what we see with what is beyond, in this case, space. The color spectrum serves as a reference point, reminding the viewer of perceived limits.

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 currently lives and works in New York.
