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 sits in partial shade. The sunlight penetrates a reed roof, thereby casting shadows on the space around the mysterious woman. Johnny’s work is both inspired and influenced by the work of the French painter Gustave Caillebotte; an artist credited as being the first to celebrate the anonymity of his subject whilst blending the styles of impressionism and realism.
