JOHN HARRIS

John graduated from medical school and completed his interventional radiology fellowship in southern California. Art has always played a critical role in his life which has been intertwined with his experience in medicine.

His original works are uniquely identifiable from canvas giclee prints as they are painted on x-ray film. These works also have a barium signature and handprint under the paint which can only be seen when an x-ray of the painting is performed, revealing its authenticity. Paintings have moved from household to industrial/commercial pieces and larger scale works are not on film. John is a colorist, and the painting stye is that of thick, bold, out of the tube paint which can be felt as well as seen. The thick paint used also allows for mixed media pieces incorporating items such as paper money and guitar picks pressed deep into the paint.

John currently lives and works in Mill Valley, California and can be reached at johnharris2017@gmail.com. His art can be found in galleries, salons, and houses of friends throughout the United States.
