ARTIST INFO
About
John Stark emerged as an innovator in the dark undercurrent of London’s contemporary art scene, integrating styles and themes from recent and past artistic traditions to form his own system of meaning. His paintings of enigmatic figures in hauntingly beautiful landscapes often reflect an ill-fated world struggling with the dissonance of spirituality, materiality, religion and science.
Education
John Stark graduated from Royal Academy Schools, London in 2004, and University of West England, Bristol in 2001.
