THERE IS NO ONE TRUTH BUT THERE ARE MANY STORIES
John Sargent's Paintings are categorized by intensely realitic
representations of nature with a concentration on color &
light. His focus on nature is not limited to its appearance but
expressed as a vehicle and access to questions both philosophical
and spiritual. Sargent's canvases are rich surfaces that appear
smooth from a distance but reveal many layers of shifting thoughts
and choices upon closer examination. He also has no reservations
in embellishing or disturbing his carefully crafted paintings
to produce images that are very much an expression of the world
today. Beauty and emotion are paramount. Stillness, reverence
and meditation are found in his oil on canvas paintings.
