Artwork Description

The Midnight Gardens drawing and painting cycles are an ongoing series which explores the symbolic nature of Man’s relationship with planet Earth.

"The sea was full of stars. A blazing vault of sky collided with its reflection in the dark plain of ocean. Together, they found infinity.

The salty air was intoxicating. He breathed in...out. Somewhere in the distance a clock chimed midnight.

Awareness arose within him, warming his body against the chill of night. From the moment of his birth, he had been journeying towards this point, this very moment.
Now.

Suddenly, without thought or effort, he found himself slipping through the cusp of the crescent moon and falling into another world.

A garden. Full of mysterious sounds and magical shapes and colours. Nearby, the trickle of a fountain.

Dangerous and wild. But he felt no fear. The garden had been calling to him all his life, and at last had allowed him in."

Artist Bio

I decided I wanted to be an artist and immediately began painting at the age of 8, and have never had any misgivings about the decision to follow the artistic path.
I studied at the Queensland College of Art until being expelled in 1984 for being a “disruptive and disturbing influence”, after which my career really took off.

Commissions

John's studio is in Sydney
