Each work by John Behnke (b.1991) tells a complex story that combines a romantic attitude toward the natural world with dystopian visions of the near future. So much of his work is based on tangible places, that are then altered in his memory of them or what he dreams they may be below the surface.
In the worlds of John Behnke, the familiar and the fantastic collide, all depicted with vibrant hues and exquisite detail. “These places are like my playgrounds,” he says. Behnke’s take on the age-old tradition of landscape painting is personal and irreverent; his environments are wild mash-ups.
