John Bukaty

Art Brokerage: John Bukaty American Artist: John Bukaty is an American pioneer of the live painting movement. He began his career twenty years ago on canvas capturing weekly band performances at a Kansas City brewpub, but has since traveled to India, Ireland, Mexico, and beyond creating and sharing his work through mediums ranging from painting and sculpture to poetry and apparel. One of Bukaty's most unique gifts is his ability to capture the essence of live action on canvas. He has been selected to commemorate such events as the NFL Super Bowl, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and the American Century celebrity golf championship. As a result, he has created a vast national network of fans and collaborators. He works often with Grammy Award-winning musician, Anders Osborne, on the Send Me A Friend project, which helps support newly-sober musicians on the road. Having risen from the ashes of trauma, addiction, heartbreak, and economic struggle, Bukaty's feverish daily pursuit of art has been rewarded with opportunities to paint in some of the most historically significant and inspirational environments on Earth, most notably the Taj Mahal and the Vatican. With a rare vibrancy and purposeful dedication, Bukaty's ability to harness his creative energy is unmatched. He has dedicated his life to serving art by living with creative intention, giving back to his community, and using his talents to connect with the world around him. Listings wanted.
