About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist John Gardner demonstrates an exploration of natural celestial events. In his new mixed-media works, John presents a skilled synthesis of modern and minimalist styles. "Shooting Stars are my favorite things to see while watching the night sky," shares John. He analyzes and combines the heavenly bodies into vectors and equations.


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.
