Inspired by ritual bike rides in Florence, Massachusetts, John McAllister captures fleeting moments in nature, portraying decaying winters and blossoming springs.
His paintings blend the linear progression of human life with the cyclical patterns of nature, featuring exaggerated palettes and intricate details of leaves, petals, and branches.
John McAllister's work juxtaposes domestic scenes with abstract depictions of nature, exploring the duality between the human-made environment and wilderness.
The title 'sometimes splendid seeming...stellar even...ripping' reflects the temporary yet unusual nature of existence depicted in the paintings, grounding lofty concepts with everyday words.
