Artist John Zurier in Berlin

John Zurier is a painter whose abstract almost monochrome paintings are informed by Abstract Expressionism, Post-War French painting, and Japanese aesthetics. His main interest is in simplicity, surface modulation, and color as it is tied to our experience of time. John Zurier's reductive, near-monochrome paintings offers renewed testimony to the artist's dedication to color, the material fact of painting and painting's history. His soft-hued abstract printings play at crossing the line into representation. Filled with the sensation of nature, they evoke the silence of luminous weather and the pulse of a human touch. Meet John at Nordenhake Gallery in Berlin and hear his views on art and his own way of painting.
