In case anyone is in the Garfield Park area of Indianapolis, I currently have a solo exhibit there.
September 1 (First Friday) it will be open late and I plan to be there. Come on out.
Exhibit title: Spontaneous Geometrics
John Essex II
“For years the majority of my art has been about people and locations. Though I
also, enjoy creating purely abstract work now and again as the muse strikes, and
am currently working on a series of what I call spontaneous geometrics, much of
what I produce is of actual people or actual locations or inspired by one or the
other. I can best give an account of why I am a visual artist by simply stating it is the only life I have ever known.”
AUG 4- SEPT 29
