Jon Sarkin, a visual artist based in Gloucester, MA, is best known for his frenetic and visually arresting images that combine words and images. His drawings and paintings crosshatch and scrawl their way through pop-culture, rock ‘n’ roll, the mundane, and the subconscious.
Jon began his career as an artist in 1989, when complications from a neurosurgery led to a stroke, preventing him from returning to work as a chiropractor. While his artwork was initially therapeutic (respite from the havoc the stroke wreaked on his nervous system), he has developed a truly novel artistic voice and a seasoned consistency.
His work has garnered an astounding degree of attention from The New Yorker and The New York Times, and his work has been exhibited in New York, London, Los Angeles, and at the DeCordova Museum. As well, the Centre Pompidou in Paris recently accepted 6 of his works—which are in the private collections of, among others, guitarist Pete Townsend.
Jon’s work was recently showcased in a YouTube documentary by Blind Dweller, and two books have also been written about Jon—Shadows Bright as Glass by Pulitzer Prize winner Amy Ellis Nutt and The Art of Jon Sarkin by art historian Collin Rhodes. The cover of Practical Neurology’s January 2023 issue featuring Jon’s piece, Judith, was recognized with honorable mention at the 2023 Folio: Eddie and Ozzie Awards.
