John Douglas Art

John Douglas was born in Kansas. He is a talented artist whose work is known by many all over the world. His first creative influences came from the perfect and seemingly delicate scope of nature. He is a keen observer and has sense to detect what many artists would let pass by. His work tends to capture the viewers attention to an extent that they feel part of it. Douglas’ complex layering of iconography, images, paint and other media work together to connect the viewer to a world that balances both modernism and antiquity. He continues to reinvent himself by exploring new mediums such as wood construction wall reliefs, abstract painting on dimensional copper and steel wall sculptures, and painted glass. The sophistication in Douglas’ diversity of styles has been inspired from all over the world - from the geometry of mosaics and tile work to Greek and Roman columns - from the royalty of the Renaissance to the palms of the British West Indies. Douglas strives to achieve balance in his life by constantly broadening the scope of his mind’s eye and embracing all forms of art. Douglas' primary inspiration comes from the natural beauty of the Arizona wildlife and landscapes that have moved countless others before him. He manages to create free-flowing, powerful abstracts that are layered with color and texture. His artistic specialty is the crafting of floral compositions and minutely detailed still life. Currently, framed John Douglas art are found in many art galleries all over the world.
