John Macpherson was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1932. He graduated from the University of
Minnesota in 1956 with a MS in Aero-Space Engineering. In 1960 he discovered
his he had an interest in art. While teaching at a university he also earned a
B.A in Visual Arts.
Macpherson is a very talented artist who works with
photographs and Fractals. He uses
Photoshop and blends between 2 to 5 layers. John Macpherson
says, "The main purpose of art is to give people a respite from the human condition". I totally agree
with him.
In both pieces, the colors are fun and bright. The mix of
photograph and Fractals works really well together. The background images
really caught my eye. In the first piece I noticed a woman dressed like she was
going to a formal event but her head was missing. The second one looks like an
underwater scene.
He uses quite a iridescent palette. indeed, they are fun and bright.
