RESUME

John Zimmerman

In my painting I employ the use of bright colors, bold shapes and a desired sense of perspective, all of which express an individuality or point view toward the subject matter. I am motivated by the freedom to connect different genres, styles, techniques and applications. The sum of which creates a visual dialogue between medium, form and content.
