John Mendelsohn’s work explores the poetics of painting and perception. In his paintings, visual movement arises from repeated forms that keep changing as they are reiterated. He has written that they recall “the appearance of one thing after another, like waves or mistakes, thoughts or breaths. I make my paintings in series that when seen together create an architecture of images. The series have in common a sense of transformation, color as a central element, and an existential awareness.” In the paintings are a range of optical excitations including turbulence, moiré patterns, and phantom forms, that arise from the manipulation of paint and other mediums. His work has been shown at Artists Space, New York; P.S.1 The Institute for Art and Urban Resources, New York; Venice Biennale; Nordiska Kompanient, Stockholm, Sweden; and Indianapolis Museum of Art. Recent solo shows include Scholes Street Studio, Brooklyn, 57 W. 57 Arts, New York; and Fairfield University, Fairfield CT. His exhibitions have been reviewed in the New York Times, Art in America, Arts Magazine, and artnet. He received a BA from Columbia University, an MFA from Rutgers University, and participated in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program.
