Description

Johnny Popkess is a contemporary figurative artist whose work features in private collections and fine art galleries around the world. From isolated, exotic lands to the centre of a city filled with art and prestigious galleries within walking distance. Johnny Popkess uses his life experiences and inspiration to portray the human form the way it should be seen, in its truest beauty.

Johnny Popkess works in a Figurative Pop Art style. The artistic process of Popkess encompasses his deep appreciation for beauty in its truest form, free of any illusions. Painting exclusively using the finest hand-blended pigments, mixing them with oils and using stretched linen as a surface; his technique is reminiscent of the old master artists.

His work draws inspiration from his personal search for true beauty and his fascination with blemished beauty. His work also shows influences from the work of the French painter Gustave Caillebotte.

A woman delicately holds a sheet of paint, swirling it through the air. The lines are blurred between a figurative work and the impossibility of doing what it is she is doing. Central to the painting is its simple elegance. Painted on a professionally stretched, large box canvas, using the finest artist’s quality oils.
