DearGreetings!

 

The artworld at large takes a summer hiatus, but that hasn't been the case for John. He's had a busy summer -- on an odyssey of performance art from hosting a dinner party in the streets of L.A.'s Chinatown to a live performance painting during Denver's First Friday art walk and full circle back to Salt Lake City. We'll take you on that journey with him. Get a first look at the Peform Chinatown video. Preview upcoming exhibitions with Art Meets Fashion, listen in on a radio interview from Las Vegas and become part of live painting at an exclusive dinner with By Invitation Only.

Denver's First Friday Art Walk August 5, 2011. John and fellow artist Craig Cleveland were invited by the Conari Gallery to create a large scale, live, gestural painting. Viewers and art walk participants were invited to pose in front of the large canvas where their silhouettes where lit by a large spotlight and their images painted onto the canvas.
