About the Artist:Nationally emerging artist John Bell explores multiple movements of contemporary art all at once, creating a hallmark painting style that comments broadly on sociopolitical issues, the impact of social media, and the ever-fluctuating values of contemporary culture. Bell, lauded as an "indiscriminate genre-blender" fuses abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction, pop art and many other artistic styles. He employs recurring images of iconic popular culture, snippets of news feeds, and social media references set against a brightly hued color palette, hard-edge, tense geometric lines and ethereal back drops. His work has been placed in many private collections throughout the U.S. and has exhibited in countless group and solo exhibitions, including Art Basel, Miami, New York's Time Warner Center, Southern Nevada Museum of Art, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City.
Bell's work and mid-century home have recently been profiled in the Los Angeles-based, lifestyle, and culture-centric 944 Magazine. A profile of Bell will be published in the soon- to-be-released national fall edition of Blue Canvas Magazine. A cover editorial in Seven Magazine, (Las Vegas) entitled Beyond Pop; The man and message behind the paint.Hailed as an "artist on the rise" by Salt Lake Magazine, his work and home have been featured in a cover article in Utah Style & Design.
