John Kirkpatrick Jr
John is drawn to a strong use of color, thick and dramatic brush strokes, and texture to create visual and emotional stories in the human face and body. His preferred medium is acrylic paint applied to large canvases, which allows him to work fast and fearlessly, creating vastly expressive moods via fresh, spontaneous creativity.
“In my paintings, emotion and viewer response are everything. With my abstract expressionist style, I use texture, heavy lines, and color to convey this. I want the viewer to look at my work and feel what the subject is not only feeling emotionally but physically as well.”

Muhammad Ali
28 X 39 | Acrylic | Available for Purchase | $2300
Muhammad Ali is the second collaboration between John Kirkpatrick Jr & Bob Nonnemacher. Each artist painted the iconic boxer in their particular style and in the same size. These two paintings were then cut into squares and reassembled into a final image using squares from each artist. This powerful painting captures the dynamic energy of Ali's personality, athleticism, and activism.
