John Pearson

John Pearson is an established Australian artist known for his expressive oil paintings of the landscape and urban environment.

John’s work captures the subtleties of light and colour, using a spontaneous technique to evoke A soft mood and feeling of contemplation. His paintings are not just representations of a scene but independent artworks that explore the way light shapes our perception. Drawing inspiration from the Impressionists, he creates pieces where paint and subject merge into their own reality.

He completed a BA Fine Arts degree in 1974 and an MBA in 1988. John worked as an art teacher, advertising illustrator and marketing manager before opening two galleries and a framing business in Perth which he and his family ran for fifteen years. Today he is based on the Sunshine Coast where he paints after a daily ocean swim and body-surf.
