John Hayduk

Oil paintings · the Shift series · 13 works · $1,800–$5,000

John Hayduk (b. 1987) is an American artist from Connecticut. After spending eight years living in Santa Fe, NM, he has returned to Connecticut to continue his practice. His work is focused in oil painting: John starts his landscape work en plein air and uses these studies to create studio paintings that focus on the quiet peacefulness of the natural world. He also works figuratively, with work focused on the fleeting nature of life and how that knowledge shapes our experiences. He is classically trained in realism, having studied at the Academy of Realist Art in Boston, MA, and The Ryder Studio in Santa Fe, NM.

“Painting a landscape for me isn't as simple as capturing nature's beauty — it's a meditation on life and death and seeing the beauty in both. My current body of work focuses on invented landscapes where the color is diminished or stripped away to allow the mood and emotions of the piece to stand out, letting the tension between the light and the darkness guide the viewer.”
