We are excited to welcome back California artist John Wentz as he joins us for his second RUN with The Form Appears. In addition John Wentz has also brought us 3 small studies along with 3 original paintings from his recent series Spectra .
"This is part of a series I started working on in July of 2012 called Spectra. On these pieces I really wanted to explore color & texture and shy away a bit from formal constraints. I spent a lot of time looking at war photos on the internet, and after awhile, I became interested in this cycle of self destruction that we, as human beings, perpetuate. It kind of made me think of that scene in Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” where the ape discovers that the bone could be used as a weapon. It’s as if as soon as we created tools we started harming each other and, ultimately, ourselves. I just began to wonder if it is something that is part & parcel to being human…part of who we are and it cannot be undone." - John Wentz
