Hartom https://johnhartom.com/Statement Statement&nbsp; Many artists reference the natural world as a source of inspiration for color, texture, pattern and more. I am no exception. I look closely for colors that move me, color combinations that “pop”, patterns impossible to ignore. But I find source material in the built environment as well. I am intrigued by the patterns in fences, the intersection of walls and ceilings, the stains on concrete floors. Everything I have ever seen is in my mental storage room and I draw upon these images freely. I react with little conscious regard for the formal rules of art but assertively and spontaneously relying upon a life-time of training and experience. Each painting session is a burst of creativity with each painting informing the next. https://johnhartom.com/About-3 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 20:50:05 +0000 John Hartom https://johnhartom.com/About-3 John Hartom is an artist, educator and community activist living in western North Carolina. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Michigan in 1970 and a Masters of Art Education Degree from Eastern Michigan University in 1976. He spent 29 years as a high school art educator. He has been a food justice advocate since 1990 when he co-founded The Empty Bowls Project. His current studio work is an exploration of color and pattern using mixed media to create paintings and monoprints. These works are used to create individual works for the wall, multiple pieces exhibited together for sculptural effect, and for both the covers and interior parts of hand-crafted books. He strives to create objects that are well-crafted and energetic. cv available upon request
