John Zurier (US)
John Zurier paints abstract paintings in which changes in palette and surface are used to invoke the atmosphere and mood of places and times—seen and unseen, past and future. The paintings offer a maximal sense of colour, light, and space with simple and direct means.
John Zurier (b. 1956, Santa Monica; US) lives and works in Berkeley, California. The artist has held numerous solo exhibitions in the US as well as Europe and Japan. His work is represented in public collections including: the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco; US), Moderna Museet Stockholm (Stockholm; SE), the University of California (Berkeley; US), and Berkeley Art Museum (Berkeley; US). Zurier received a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010.
