| | "I am originally from New Jersey and Sicilian ancestry. My oil, acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media paintings are based on personal affirmations and my spiritual journey. Images in my paintings often develop without preliminary drawings or preconceptions. I use dark values and theatrical lighting on these text based paintings resulting in a variety of dramatic and chiaroscuro effects while encouraging the viewer to spend some time reflecting on the emergence of line, shape, color, texture and symbolism. My inspiration: (Renaissance) Caravaggio, (Baroque) Rembrandt, (Surrealist) Magritte, Tanguy and DiChirico." - John Coppola
John's work will be displayed at Cafe 225 through November in conjunction with the Visalia Art League and at the Main Gallery, 209 W Main Street. John is the president of the Visalia Art League. To contact John, you may email him at johncoppola@comcast.net or call him at 967-2847.
