I am John reuss
My work revolves around the concept of loneliness, alienation and (loss of) identity in a fragmented and turbulent reality.
Particularly alienation in various forms has my interest - internal alienation in relation to body & mind, social alienation in relation to the outside world. The angle chosen may differ from painting to painting, or several angles may be treated in the same painting.
I work in an unplanned, intuitive manner - where the final image is the result of a process, layering, overpainting, adding and subtracting to the figure.
