John L. Gleason is a nationally known sculptor whose vibrant spirit and generous nature extends to his work. He does not shy from issues in life or in his art. John believes that the function of art is to encourage thought in the artist as well as in the viewer.
As the artist, he finds it important to search out challenges for creativity and composition. He expects his work to be fresh and fascinating to each new viewer. In our chaotic world, his sculptural work in copper and other metals evokes a feeling of comfort.
Through the process of heating established metal compounds, John creates diverse sculptures with 20th century technology. He works in copper, as well as other tactile materials, such as steel, canvas, ceramic, and glass.
Among other exhibitions his work has been featured in solo and group shows by the Apollo Group and Chandler Arizona Center for the Arts. Recently he was commissioned by clients in New York City, Texas, and Arizona for large scale artwork. He has many pieces in the permanent collections of Western International University and M&I Bank. John’s artwork is collected by public, corporate, and private art patrons and can be seen in collections across the nation. His work is currently represented by Quan’tum Art, Inc., Phoenix-Chandler, AZ, Palavela Home at 4222 N. Marshall Way in the heart of Scottsdale, AZ’s famed art district, Blink Gallery, Phoenix, AZ, DiSciacca in historial old town Chandler, AZ, and Juniper Sky Fine Art Gallery, Ivins, Utah. |
