John Finneran

American born artist John Finneran is known for his large canvases in a distinctive colour palette: dusty pinks, deep blues, glowing greens and a striking use of black. Abstract, geometrical shapes and symbolic body parts aim to create a universal language and experience, while the colours creates the mood.
Finneran drew a distinction between the personal and the biographical, pivoting his interest towards the emotions and feelings in the paintings, rather than the personal experience behind them. But in current times, he says it feels right to identify ones position. More recent works finds Finneran searching for his own presence in the paintings, looking for the parts of himself that are hidden.
