New Gallery Artist: John Joseph Hanright

We are pleased to introduce the work of John Joseph Hanright!

Camelot Get Real Action Gotcha Honey How to Kid Yourself Ok Corral The Action Packed Pickups Town House What is Often Kept Secret Boston artist John Joseph Hanright's work combines elements of vintage and contemporary imagery to form paintings with a story, history and presence. His mixed media work begins with a concept incorporating vintage clippings from 1940's-1960's publications and then is layered with additional text, and painted imagery to bring together the composition.  John describes his work presently as: ''My work is thought provoking, sometimes sexy and inspired by experience and visuals lost and found. This mixing of imagery and symbols in paint and/or mixed media combine to form pieces with a twist and discovery. The art can be a combination of conceptual art, American Art, pop culture and derived from life in the 50's to present day. I present bold imagery with subtleties and simplicity to contradict and poke fun of. My engagement in my work is with thought, energy and impulsive risks.''
