2025

"John" is an 8.5” x 11” gel plate portrait of a young John Lennon, rendered in a bold and vibrant green that captures his rebellious energy and creative spirit. Painted in reverse, the image takes on a dreamlike, almost ghostly quality, as if Lennon is both emerging from and dissolving into the textured layers of paint. The unconventional printing method gives the piece a raw, organic feel—mirroring the experimental approach Lennon often brought to his music and artistry. The green hue is both striking and symbolic, reflecting the freshness of his early years and the ever-evolving nature of his legacy.

This portrait is part of a four-piece series celebrating The Beatles, with each artwork focusing on a different member—Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and, of course, George. The choice to depict them as young men emphasizes their early energy and promise, a nod to the era when they were shaping the future of music. The bold red of George contrasts against the individual palettes chosen for the others, highlighting his distinct presence within the band. This series is more than just a tribute; it’s a reimagining of their legacy through a fresh and innovative artistic lens.
