John J. Hodgson has been making art since 2008 with his teacher, Baris Gokturk. John has had over a dozen solo exhibitions and has participated in as many group exhibits, including collaborations with Madison House Autism Foundation in Rockville, Maryland. Several of Hodgson’s works are included in private collections across the United States as well as Turkey, Germany, and Slovakia.
John’s creative sessions include time spent learning classic brush stroke techniques as well as experimenting with non-traditional tools and methods. Time, movement, and creation of an individual pictorial language through an articulation of various painterly moves is the main focus of his paintings.
Mr. Hodgson is part of an artist collective that was established in 2013 and is currently exploring textile arts and sculpture.
Outside of the studio, his interests include running in Central Park, visiting museums and galleries, hiking the Appalachian Trail, attending cooking classes and volunteer work. John works tirelessly with the Central Park Conservancy, the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center, and at the New York Common Pantry.
