Biography
Artist John Douglas was born in Kansas but raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Douglas’ first creative influences stemmed from the delicate and seemingly perfect scope of nature. Douglas’ work transcends mere classical representation. The complex layering of paint, images, iconography and other media work together to build a fantastic bridge to a world that balances both antiquity and modernism. The sophistication in the artist’s diversity of styles has been inspired from all over the world—from Greek and Roman columns to the geometry of mosaics and tile work—from the palms of the British West Indies to the royalty of the Renaissance. Douglas continues to reinvent himself with exploring new mediums such as vibrant, abstract painting on dimensional steel and copper wall sculptures, painted dimensional wood construction wall reliefs and painted glass. John Douglas strives to achieve balance in his life by embracing all forms of art and constantly broadening the scope of his mind’s eye.
