“John Szabo laid down multiple layers of
blue resin for his Blue Light Diptych, which
consists of two square wooden panels covered
in reflective material that offers remarkable
depth, yet is opaque and impenetrable.”

“A rising star…Szabo’s work is inventive and thoughtful, displaying a great deal of
care in detail and concept…in the vein of Mark Rothko.”

“John Szabo paints exploding galaxies and other organic shapes on square canvases,
using inks, paints, resins and finally polymer to create luminous effects. They
reference the experience of stargazing on a dark, clear night or of staring at the
heavens just before dawn. These works are evocative of the art inspired by the
Theosophical movement in the early- to mid-20th century, yet simultaneously have a
new-age, non-derivative vision of the possibility of greater worlds beyond our own.”

"John Szabo's new series titled Galaxy, invites and seduces the viewer to form a
relationship with each piece by recalling and relating their own experiences, dreams
and thoughts about the wonders of our Galaxy. These works both inspire and demand
one to think about and explore the big questions of our universe."
