[NEW DATE] Meet the Artist: John Gall

Join us to celebrate John Gall’s show, 30 Years of Printmaking, at Lakeland Cultural Arts Center on April 29th starting at 1 PM.

Meet John Gall and learn more about his work!

About the exhibit:
John Gall first began his artistic career as a painter in the mid-1970s creating traditional landscapes and still-life works but found his true voice as an artist much later after learning the art of intaglio printmaking. From 1990 to 2012, John created hundreds of original prints, a small selection of which are on display here.

Coming from a math and science background, John says he is fascinated by the aesthetic beauty of mathematical equations, graphs, and symbols. This love led to his exploration of the “Human” equation, which he describes as the most complex of them all. Throughout his work, John Gall combines a touch of surrealism with mathematical symbols and the human figure to depict the “Human” equation, or the connection between humanity and knowledge. He cites his mentors as Rembrandt, Goya, Whistler, and Picasso for their love of a strong graphic image and the craftsmanship in their prints.

He has had numerous solo exhibitions throughout his long career and is currently represented by several galleries across the Southeast. Since 2012, he has focused on oil painting and exploring his voice in a different medium.

A collection of his mixed media pieces is on display at Frank’s Fine Arts until May 13th.
