John Court

                John Court is the name of the artist who created this art piece. Now for some history regarding John. He was born on the 26th of 1969's September. Where he was born was in Kent, England. He graduated from two schools during 1993 to 1997; Camberwell school of Art, London, England in 1993 and Norwich School of Art & Design, England from 1994 to 1997. Also in 1997 John moved to Finland. If there's one thing to be considered about the fellow, he suffers from Dyslexia a disorder that prevents people from reading. In some ways John Court's work can be seen as an art device that digs into the deeper potential problems with language by emphasizing a physical deconstruction of the symbols in language.

Here's the image of one of his works and its link.

So far the image is said to be untitled unfortunately.

The medium appears to consist of paper, pencil, PVA, glue and aluminum leaf.

The size consists 30" x 44"

Now here's why I like this piece of work. The first reason is because when looking at the image, it resembles a labyrinth. The second reason is the shapes of the texture, when you look closely, you'll notice that some of the shapes are actually shapes of the alphabet. The third reason is because even though the emphasized area is black, the shapes of the texture capture and reflect enough light, they further emphasize both their texture and white light glistening. So all of these things are what got me into the artwork to begin with. You can always look for more of John Court's artwork at Google images, so feel free to look them up if you please. Good Bye!
