Snap, Crackle, and Pop! By John McSweeney Created in 2021 Oil on wood 67 x 67 x 5
SHIPS FROM London, UK The forms for this painting were taken from LED displays in London as well as web-based advertising. The title references a breakfast cereal. But it is also a signifier that this is a piece of Pop Art. The central circular section, with its reference to Taylor Swift, is raised above the surrounding surface. I live and work in London, making paintings about modern life. I spent 5 years at art school, and I have been a working artist for 45 years.My practice is largely based on observations of my environment. But it also includes works of the imagination.My work hovers between figuration and abstraction, drawing on centuries of artistic tradition from pre-Renaissance to computer-aided art.I synthesize a variety of painting styles, making use of allegory, symbolism, and narrative. I look to create powerful images that resonate with viewers. I often look to pose questions, querying the status quo of what we accept in society, drawing the viewer in and hoping to generate a conversation. I often use a degree of ambiguity to facilitate this.At the root of my practice is a wish to engage with this question: Can painting provoke a constructive discourse about the modern world? My ambition is to show that it can.
