John Whalley

John Whalley: born in 1954 in Brooklyn, New York, he went on to study drawing and painting at the Rhode Island School of Design. A common theme in his work is one of redemption; saving from trash bins, flea market tables, the sea shore, and antique shops, natural or man-made objects bearing the patinas and marks of many decades of use and abuse. He believes that“the best art is made from un–artful things” ; the paradox of the particular beauty found in the humble and the broken. He is represented by Greenhut Galleries of Portland and Vose Galleries of Boston. He can be found on Facebook at John Whalley Studio, and his website: www.johnwhalley.com
