John Stark
Drawing inspiration from folk mythology and religious iconography, John Stark's work has a surreal yet tranquil quality to it.
Stark describes his paintings as "reflections of a doomed world and metaphors for a 'utopia' that religion and politics have continually promised us and failed to deliver. They are time, labour and matter transformed into artistic value and optimistic transformations of the medium of paint, through an act of alchemy, which potentially deconstructs our notions of perception and conditioning."
