John Kalymnios Art

Australian, b. 1960

John Kalymnios was born in Wollongong, Australia in 1960, he currently lives and works in New York. His work is considered an example of postmodern internationalism art for the materials he uses are often linked to synthetics or high technology. Kalymnios is principally known for his kinetic sculptures, which create interesting visual and spatial manipulations. The works become sensory experiences, in which he uses low-tech mechanics, sculpture, video and photography to toy with our perceptions. Kalymnios draws from nature: spirals whirl, butterflies in motion captivate and illuminated cloudscapes create a hypnotic sense of space. He has exhibited in many galleries and museums from the Caren Golden Fine Art gallery to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.

A Conversation With Myself VII
Located in New York, NY
About the Series: Gilliam began the series Life Lines in 2017 after recently coming into possession of MRI scans of her brain. The scans, which she spent hours pouring over, both fascinated and horrified her. Gilliam always knew the seriousness of the brain injury suffered as a baby; however, it was the first time she confronted the visual evidence of the injury. Around the same time, she experienced a continuous period of profound familial loss. Both these episodes left her thinking about the body in a new light. This led her to study the biology and physiology of our bodies and the seemingly cruel, capricious way the body can behave, vacillating between strength and fragility. Gilliam began to make drawings from the MRIs recording the brain to understand how its structure and pathways form to activate the circumstances of the individual being we become. As the series has developed, the imagery has dissolved into abstraction, capturing something more existential. The repetitive lines revealed rhythms, and the patterns formed conversations. Ultimately, Life Lines has evolved into a visual story about connections, threading together a human body with its physical, metaphysical, and interpersonal environment. About the Artist: Claire Gilliam is an English photographer, printmaker, painter now based from her home and studio in Warwick, NY. In 1997, she graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art and completed the Professional Certificate in Photography at Rockport College, Maine in 2000. She has studied with photographers such as Arno Minkkinen and John Goodman and master gelatin silver printer, Chuck Kelton and master printmaker, Vijay Kumar. She is an assistant for author and fine art photographer Barbara Mensch. Her works have been shown across Europe and the USA and held in several private and public collections, including The ICP Library Print...
