John Kolling studied art in California and Michigan, earning an MFA degree in 1996. Drawing from a diverse pool of influences including Moreau, Klimt, Frankenthaler and Auerbach, Kolling's imagery is abstract, exploring metaphysical realms through the use of basic forms and colors. Rather than trying to convey specific meanings. Kollig's works remain open to interpretation by his viewers. His painterly application results in a surface that is both opaque and transparent, creating a complex and unique visual experience. His image shave found expression in The Sphereworks series, the Knights Templar series, the Cirque series and now the Freedom series. Currently Kollingis on staff and teaches part time at Western Michigan University. He also has studio space on campus in which he paints almost every day. Kollig's paintings and mixed media drawings appear in many private and corporate collections, and his original works are represented by Gallery 344 in Kalamazoo, MI and The Nines Gallery in Holland, MI.
