John Mark-Gleadow

John-Mark Gleadow renowned for his skill as a draftsman and ability for creating hyper realistic oil paintings, he has gone on to garner various awards, solo shows, and grants and has been met with commercial success in the numerous galleries carrying his work from coast to coast in the United States and beyond. Beginning with still lives, John-Mark’s paintings soon came to have portraiture as their backbone. With his mastery of the medium, his trademark use of vibrant colors has come to the fore – an element of his work made the more fascinating due to his having to cope with his own colorblindness. His most recent series has fused the centuries-old theme of painting book spines with his love of doing figurative work and has allowed him to broaden the thematic horizons of his paintings.
