About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist John Diehl creates a sharp diagonal division that cleaves the subject into two distinctive halves. The upper portion features a solid white trapezoid, while the lower part is a hollow red triangle sharply outlined in white. Against a crimson backdrop, the simple elements in this composition offer a striking visual contrast and provide the viewer with a point of contemplation. While its elegance is apparent from a distance, a closer inspection reveals subtle pencil lines and intimate traces of the human touch. "These are my marks as a human being entering the Posthuman Era," says John. This is a composition with a bold statement about the persisting significance of human agency and creativity in a world of technological innovations.
About the Artist
John Diehl was trained as a classical pianist before ever picking up a brush or palette knife. That love of music permeates his art. John uses landscapes as a means to express feeling rather than capture a scene. Among other emotions, he portrays "joy, peace, happiness, and solitude." John estimates there are 15,000 brushstrokes in each of his paintings. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Florence in Italy, and currently lives in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Dainty happy orbs of blue, purple, and red transform from cool to warm. Illuminated from above by early winter sun, they fall unhurriedly to the soft pristine snow. Part of artist Natasha Tayles's signature Circle series.
