LewAllen Galleries is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, John Fincher: Enduring Terrain. The art of John Fincher is distinguished by a singular blend of sensuality and severity. Informed equally by the forceful poignancy of German Expressionist painting and the understatement inherent to Japanese calligraphic traditions, his work mobilizes diverse art historical and personal references to offer new understandings of America’s natural and cultural landscapes. Exercising a profound economy of means, each painting derives startling emotional resonance from a combination of rigorously balanced composition, nuanced brushwork, dramatic shadowing, and the application of intense points of contrasting colors to punctuate significant visual elements.
