John Mark Gleadow is truly one of the finest photo realistic artists in the world today! His Bibliotheque series has become his most successful body of work ever. His original paintings have over a year and a half wait time. The detail is so extraordinary, it takes him almost 2 months to complete just one of his Bibliotheque paintings. Fortunately, these pieces are available as a limited edition on canvas. Each print is from a low edition size of 195 and are selling very quickly. Through their literary references, these pieces always evoke pleasant memories and emotions, in addition to stirring up wonderful conversation. Because of their wrap around stretching, they are quite often displayed without framing, however, many of our clients have chosen box framing more than one print atop one another to create a bookcase illusion. Please contact us if you would like to see additional images of these pieces.Click

| Born in 1976, John-Mark Gleadow had already achieved gallery representation by the time he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Delaware in 1999. Renowned for his skill as a draftsman and ability for creating hyperrealstic oil paintings, he has gone on to garner various awards, solo shows and grants and has been met with commercial success in the numerous galleries carrying his work from coast to coast in the United States and beyond. Early influences on the young artist were Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali and VerMeer. “I fell in love with the beauty of their imagery and have always been in awe of their amazing gift for depicting reality, or their version of it. My desire is that my abilities would be used for creating works that are beautiful and that, when viewed as a whole, convince the viewer not only that what they’re seeing is real but that there’s truth in it. For that reason I find strict photorealism a somewhat unsatisfying undertaking.” Beginning with still lives, John-Mark’s paintings soon came to have portraiture as their backbone. With his mastery of the medium his trademark use of vibrant colors has come to the fore – an element of his work made the more fascinating due to his having to cope with his own colorblindness. His most recent series has fused the centuries old theme of painting book spines with his love of doing figurative work and has allowed him to broaden the thematic horizons of his paintings. “The wonderful thing about working in this vain is how limitless the subject matter can be and how it makes for a logical way of juxtaposing entirely different topics, producing a work of art that’s beautiful as a whole, not just aesthetically, but thematically as well.” |
