Biography
John Charles Angelopoulos is a contemporary American painter born in Dover N.H.(1957). Combining pop culture with religious and mythological images to create lusty and humorous paintings. His work is was inspired by his uncle and mentor, Robert J. Andrews, whose renowned Byzantine mosaics grace churches around the world.
John likes to push the boundaries of convention. A self taught artist, he has developed an experimental style of image making. Combining oils and graphite on canvas with broken planes and a vibrant palette his paintings have a feeling of "fractured dreamscapes". His bold and innovative work has been featured in public and private collections and in multiple publications, including a collaboration with Charles Simic featured in the Cafe Review.
" My new work combines my passion of drawing and painting. Every piece begins with a fully composed idea and drawing on the surface then I slowly deconstruct the image with broken planes. This process allows me to create a unique piece , constantly adding and subtracting shapes and colors."
