Jon Gilchrist

Jon Gilchrist is a self-taught abstract artist born in 1975 in Oklahoma City.  Later in life Jon was exposed to contemporary art and found himself more drawn to abstract art, due to his introduction to artists such as Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, Sam Francis, Robert Motherwell, Norman Lewis, and Romare Bearden. 

Jon mostly expresses these influences through his use of texture, materials, arrangement, application, and elevating his own brand of social commentary to a more universal stature.  Painting allows Jon to share his story, and his soul, in hopes that this strikes a nerve – that it resonates.
