John Gibson Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
American, b. 1958
John Gibson has been painting delicate still-life arrangements of balls since the 1990s. This focused body of work originated from his desire to depict 3-dimensionality within the constraints of a 2-dimensional surface successfully. Playing around with patterned surfaces and carefully organizing his subject matter, Gibson builds a subtle complexity within his compositions. In this way, Gibson’s work is similar to that of Italian painter Giorgio Morandi, whose still-life of earthenware objects served as a constant influence.
Within Gibson’s paint handling, there is an evident physicality, making clear a sense of precision and geometry that reflects an architectural quality. This quality is further illustrated by the strong use of light and shadow to create depth within the pictorial plane.
John Gibson received his undergraduate degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, after which he attended Yale University to receive his MFA.2

WHAT IS A CYANOTYPE?
The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's.
Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun.
Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative to get the best image quality. Finally, the print is washed and fixed with water to stop the reaction and prevent fading.
What you get is an amazing, royal blue image...
