About the Item
A solitary figure emerges from a haze of mossy greens, bruised yellows, and earthen reds, as if pressed forward from the depths of the canvas rather than painted onto it. The face is indistinct, shadowed and porous, its features dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. Eyes glint faintly, not fully revealed, suggesting awareness without invitation. The body is only partially formed, absorbed into the painterly ground, where layers of pigment appear rubbed, scumbled, and weathered. This erosion gives the figure a ghostly instability, as though it might retreat back into the surface at any moment. Color functions emotionally rather than descriptively: green breathes a vegetal, almost alchemical energy, while the red at the base smolders like a buried ember. The frame is not a boundary but a collaborator. Its worn, ridged surface and muted metallic tone echo the painting’s sense of age and ritual, while the small plaque bearing the word Enchantment anchors the experience—naming what cannot be fully seen. Together, image and frame suggest a relic or talisman, an object imbued with quiet power.

John Seubert’s work draws from Symbolism, Surrealism, Expressionism, and the raw immediacy of Art Brut, yet it forms a world entirely his own. His paintings, assemblages, and hybrid constructions transform reclaimed frames, wood, hardware, and found materials into intimate objects that feel at once handcrafted and psychologically charged. Windows, altars, carved texts, and small totemic figures recur throughout his practice, turning everyday materials into sites of ritual and reflection.
The works reveal Seubert’s belief in the emotional life of objects. Eyes peer from behind window grids, dogs stand like secular icons, flowers bloom in thick impasto, and carved heads perch on makeshift pedestals. Each piece suggests a narrative just out of reach—private, tender, and occasionally humorous—inviting viewers into a quiet world built from memory, devotion, and the poetry of salvage.

Untitled - After Rembrandt
s Susanna and the Elders, Original Oil on Panel
Located in Chicago, IL
This painting was inspired by Rembrandt's "Susanna and the Elders", especially Simon Schama's commentary on it, and the Me Too Movement. It depicts a vulnerable woman looking at the viewer, the male figure was derived from an Italian fascist sculpture. Rembrandt's painting depicts only one elder. It is assumed the other elder (or voyeur) is the viewer. This painting also contains references to global warming, surveillance capitalism and a thistle. According to the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, thistles "like all prickly plants are a symbol of the protective belt defending the heart against external harm and attacks". This piece is framed in an ornately carved black wooden frame measuring 25.5h x 21.5w inches.
