John Spears explores the techniques of silk screening, carrying the process to new levels of discovery.  He focuses on combinations of pattern and color, and his experimentation has resulted in complex arrangements on canvas that are richly three-dimensional and that use the screen in ways that other artists would use a paintbrush. He is continuously innovating and inventing new methods of expression, most recently imbedding asphalt glass particles in paint to create subtle reflective surfaces for an effect that has never been seen before in modern contemporary painting.  John lives in New Jersey, and his paintings can be found in the corporate offices of numerous Fortune 500 companies and in the private collections of major collectors.  His works shown above were chosen by Liberty Property Trust for the lobby of their new corporate headquarters in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
