John Joy: colour, shadow and mood

The technique of plein-air allows the artist to truly reflect on the colour, shadows and mood of the landscape at that moment. John Joy uses plein-air for all his work, and the outcome is simply beautiful. The sense of visual truth can be seen in UnCOMMON GROuND where his row of houses, or cramped dwellings, highlight the various shapes, time of day, and John’s fascination with Toronto’s city area.

There are also his unique landscapes that represent the various terrains Ontario has to offer. Each piece has a luminosity that can only be represented by being within the landscape. John’s work can be seen in various collections across Canada, and at Gallery de Boer –Fine Art & Jazz.
