About John
John Klein is a contemporary Australian artist who has been engaged in creative pursuits his entire career. His love for the visual arts has seen him drawn to the mediums of film, photography and painting.Β John enjoys collecting various objects which often become the subject matter for his unique still life paintings. He is an avid gardener which is also reflected throughout his floral subjects.Β
βI have been collecting vases and other objet dβart for the last thirty years. I am most interested in the designs from the arts and crafts, art nouveau and art deco periods, and these appear regularly in my paintings. Some of the vases I own and others I covet. My gardening interest was encouraged by my father, who was also an artist and trained under the legendary Rayner Hoff at East Sydney Technical College (now the National Art School) in the 1930s.β
Whilst sometimes appearing decorative in nature, art collectors readily engage with Johnβs work through the deeper commentary on significant craftsmanship and tradition. John seeks to document and highlight a discussion about both quality design in our everyday utilitarian items, along with the restorative force of the bloom β a life force in nature.
His paintings are held in private collections in Italy, France, Germany, USA, United Kingdom and throughout Australia. John works from a home studio that he built in his attic. A quirky, light-filled space with lovely tree-top views β a great place to spend time creating art.Β
