Jhon Doe Paints
JESTER “GESTURES”
Over the last several years, Seattle native John Sarkis has explored many styles and approaches in an effort to discover his voice as an artist. His newest paintings are a clash between his iconic, unorthodox applications and the wonder of his visual expressions. Sarkis entertains modern presentation with traditional palettes exclusive to the surrounding Pacific Northwestern location. Using familiarity as a foundation for his narrative Sarkis criticizes local landscapes’ endless change as a means to an end. Sarkis’ mixed-media paintings explore the idea of a constant collaboration between his opinions and his aesthetic colliding to form a new life of their own.
