John Gibson: Inter-play
Alissa Davies, Marketing Director: “John was my instructor and advisor at Smith, so I took a number of painting classes from him. And I was pointing out to Jamie that he does a lot of underpainting, meaning that he paints colors underneath it to make stand out more, usually using the opposite color on the color wheel, like there is probably red underneath the green on this one.”
Jim Hume, Sculptor: “I have a great time working with John.” “I want to go bigger.”
Madeline Gibson, Artist's daughter: “It’s not that I hate them, it’s not that I love them, but, well, I know them too well.”
Pam Case, Fundraiser: “I have friend in Jackson who has a piece in his home, and I loved it when I saw it last summer, and now, it is nice to see it in the Gallery. I love how Tayloe has exhibited it. And I love the vibrant colors.”
John Gibson, Artist: "It is really exciting when paintings are really flat and really spatial at the same time. I don’t know why it’s exciting, but I find it particularly, deeply satisfying. That painting does it! I worked a long time on that painting.”
