Artist John Gardner demonstrates a modern still life constructed with unconventional materials. The figure holds an instrument that resembles a pinwheel while observing the night sky. John considers the beautiful simplicity of seemingly complex systems. "It's about remembering when things were easy and mysterious," says John.
About the Artist
John’s meticulous collages are crafted from vintage materials such as old textbooks, magazines, found paper, and even embroidery. The resulting images exist in another world characterized by a magical, cinematic quality. Each piece creates a unique story that teeters on the edges of surrealism and science fiction. The viewer is left contemplating the relationship between the shapes and figures in the scenes. John’s collages are further marked by their clean aesthetics and precise execution. He currently lives and works in New York.
