John Suchsland

Life inevitably and inherently poses challenges to which you either rise or placate. I have and always will test the limits where self discovery can be recognized and the truth forthcoming. People’s happiness, the sustained health of this planet and progress are all dependent on me & you. It is the essence of truth that is free of all religious beliefs, preconceived ideas and is inherently the root of all cultures. Through my art I aspire to sow seeds of truth and inspire people to delve into the discovery of their own authentic truths [selves]; share this deeper found faith with each other, and thus create a coalescence where the unification is much more powerful than its individual parts.

John – whose abstract visual work using acrylic on canvas is based on three fundamental mantras – Color, Flow and Truth. John’s vision expressed thru the continued playfulness with geometric design, pop culture images, social commentary and humor in an endless array of continuously evolving techniques such as pour, pigment separation, splat and aero-applications, he shares a fresh and abstract pop art perspective.

History

Born in 1965, John Suchsland grew up in and around NYC with his father, a sculptor, as his primary artistic influence. Experiencing the collision of the pop and fine art cultures during the 60's, 70’s & 80's, he dispelled the preconceived ideas of "art" and embarked on his own autodidact quest as an artist. John’s diverse accomplishments and experiences throughout life, brings a myriad of colorful elements to his artistic expression. From having his name on Mars (he was an aerospace engineer), being a home designer and architect, to inventing the phrase “that’s rad” in the mid-seventies, John embraces life through doing.
