John Babcock Special Guest on It’s A Question Of balance with Ruth Copland Saturday August 23rd 9-10 PM

 

This week I’m pleased to be interviewing John Babcock, Santa Cruz Artist of the Year 2014. His medium is paper, and his work has been shown in over thirty major museums in Europe, the United States and Japan. He has lectured and conducted workshops throughout the United States and in India. His work is included in many public and private collections including The Museum of Art and Design, New York. He uses paper of his own manufacture to build art works of poured, cast, inlaid, and collaged paper. John’s art reflects a unique exploration of color relationships to evoke an emotional response. About his work he states, “I gravitate to earth forms for inspiration, because perhaps, much of the colors that I use are earth-derived pigments. I have drawn upon images that come to me when I contemplate the pulsating or vibrating nature of waves, windblown sand, or Japanese rock gardens. I seek to capture the essence of these experiences and document them through the peculiarities of colored paper.” Don’t miss this unique chance to encounter the life and work of a remarkable artist!
