John Strand’s pieces in this exhibit are well designed, organic meditations,
done with a precision which counter- balances their lyrical subject matter.
I especially enjoyed the playful, ink
splotched, colored offerings.
His accessible imagery provides that discreet and all too infrequent refuge for the eye and mind, in our world of unstoppable motion.
Congratulations on John’s debut, and on his message of introspection through controled dynamism.
Some art is visceral. You feel it in your gut. This one is cerebral. It sets your mind to think. One moment I see deep sprawling roots, the next blood vessels with synapsis firing . . . Growing down, spreading out, life affirming or malignant growth. This is good. Really good.
