Statement

John Berry's work explores memory, emotion, and the often absurd rhythms of life. His paintings are built through layers of bright color, spontaneous lines and expressive marks that emerge and recede beneath the surface. Paired with thoughtful, poetic titles, his work invites viewers to find humor and beauty in the contradictions and ironies of everyday life. Through a dynamic push-and-pull between what is revealed and what remains hidden, John creates space for personal interpretation and emotional connection.

He explores intuition, curiosity and how risk plays an essential role in his artistic process. By embracing uncertainty, he is led to find more honest and meaningful expression in his work. At heart an explorer, John approaches each painting as a journey in the unknown - sometimes surprising, sometimes uncomfortable, but never boring.
