John Winslow
John Winslow, born 1938, was an accomplished painter and art professor. Genuine experimentation and curiosity live at the center of his powerful works. His weightless entities create dream-like narratives for the viewer to explore. Images of the painter and others bounce and float on his canvases. His figures move and tumble through the air, unbound by gravity. Winslow exclaims that his paintings are about painting itself stating, "I try to create scenes that invite the viewer not only inside the studio with the painter, with his tools and accoutrements, but also inside the world of the painter's imaginings. An alternate universe where beings and non beings take shape in the fictive space around him; in diaphanous, free-floating images that are variously familiar and fantastic, allusive and abstract. I use techniques of blurring and overlapping transparencies which are crucial to establishing a context of spatial ambiguity where realness and abstraction can coexist and merge." John Winslow taught at the Corcoran School of Art, the Catholic University of America, and the University of Delaware. Winslow passed away in August of 2024.
