John McAllister: shining serenest-like wilds whirl
WHAT
Inspired by Post-Impressionist masters, the American artist is drawn to the enigmatic play of light, immersing himself in its exploration through the medium of painting. His canvases are imagined vistas where he engages in an evolving dialogue with his environment. Employing surrealistic colours, his colourful landscapes nonetheless exude harmony and serenity.
WHY
The artist’s electric tonalities paint vivid and blooming scenes that embody the essence of pleasure and delight that coexist in painting and nature. His canvases defy conventional perspective, merging flat surfaces with illusions of depth set against intricate backdrops reminiscent of textiles and wallpapers. Each painting – whether a still life, landscape, or detailed interior – offers a poetic glimpse into a world where naïvety flirts with decadence.
