John Selburg Art

American
John Selburg was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois. He holds a BFA in Drawing, Sculpture, and Graphic Design from Bradley University (2006), and an MFA from the University of Missouri-Columbia (2009). He is Chair of Visual and Performing Arts, Assistant Professor of Art, and Gallery Curator at Broward College, in addition to his prolific studio practice and international exhibit schedule. For Selburg, charcoal on paper has an immediacy and physicality that brings imaginative, intuitive forms to fruition. With great mastery of his drawing media, he alternates intensive, gestural marks and meticulous rendering, yielding believable yet fantastical figures and environments.

A small octopus is inked in the Japanese style of Gyo-Taku print making. Using sumi ink to "print" the octopus, the artist then embellishes it with colored pencil to convey an extraordinary dimensionality. By printing it on Mulberry paper, which mimics the swirl of water, the artist achieves a beautiful aesthetic. The artwork is matted and framed in a simple white wooden frame measuring 18.25h x 24.25w x 1d inches.

Three black brushstrokes representing ground and rapid dashes of black, drizzled and brushed form the profile of a dog, his leash flying upwards in this work on paper. Off leash parks in Toronto where dogs run free, are places of joy for pets and their owners. The essence of this abandon is depicted with humorous affection by Fernie, a masterful story-teller. Framed size is 50 x 36 inches. Lynne Fernie is a Toronto artist...
