Athens, Georgia-based artist Carol John received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, in New York in 1986. For four decades she’s had a rigorous studio practice, creating brilliantly colored paintings that shift and circle back on themselves over time. Working with oil paint on canvas and paper her work references text, pop graphics, interlocking shapes and symbols. She paints polka dots, ice cream cones, combs, cigarette butts, lips and eyeballs. These banal objects star in her paintings as she is drawn to celebrate the everyday. Erratic patterning and brilliant colors are layered in these paintings in order to surprise a viewer’s sensibility and work to hypnotize and to represent familiar objects in unexpected ways.
Her work has been included in the Atlanta Biennial at the Atlanta Contemporary in 2007 and 2019. Her work has been shown in galleries and institutions nationally and has pieces in the permanent collection of the High Museum of Art, in Atlanta. Publications that have written about her work include New York Magazine, Burnaway, ArtsAtl, Flagpole, The Bitter Southerner, and others.

Abstract art has origins in 19th-century Europe, but it came into its own as a significant movement during the 20th century. Early practitioners of abstraction included Wassily Kandinsky, although painters were exploring nonfigurative art prior to the influential Russian artist’s efforts, which were inspired by music and religion. Abstract painters endeavored to create works that didn’t focus on the outside world’s conventional subjects, and even when artists depicted realistic subjects, they worked in an abstract mode to do so.
In 1940s-era New York City, a group of painters working in the abstract mode created radical work that looked to European avant-garde artists as well as to the art of ancient cultures, prioritizing improvisation, immediacy and direct personal expression. While they were never formally affiliated with one another, we know them today as Abstract Expressionists.
The male contingent of the Abstract Expressionists, which includes Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, is frequently cited in discussing leading figures of this internationally influential postwar art movement. However, the women of Abstract Expressionism, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and others, were equally involved in the art world of the time. Sexism, family obligations and societal pressures contributed to a long history of their being overlooked, but the female Abstract Expressionists experimented vigorously, developed their own style and produced significant bodies of work.
Draw your guests into abstract oil paintings across different eras and countries of origin. On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive range of abstract paintings along with a guide on how to arrange your wonderful new wall art.
If you’re working with a small living space, a colorful, oversize work can create depth in a given room, but there isn’t any need to overwhelm your interior with a sprawling pièce de résistance. Colorful abstractions of any size can pop against a white wall in your living room, but if you’re working with a colored backdrop, you may wish to stick to colors that complement the decor that is already in the space. Alternatively, let your painting make a statement on its own, regardless of its surroundings, or group it, gallery-style, with other works.
