John OBrien

Art Brokerage: John O'Brien American Artist: b. 1951-2004. John O'Brien's artwork conveys a series of mystery and romance seldom found in contemporary art. With exquisite craftsmanship, poetic ideals, and a modern awareness, he created a unique style, which has become known as "contemporary romantic realism." His passion for France, Italy and Ireland can be seen in the romantic settings of elegant interiors, European street scenes, and neighborhood cafes and pubs. John studied at the prestigious Art Student's League in New York where he subsequently maintained a studio in Greenwich Village as well as San Francisco and Paris. His academic achievements, combined with his admiration for American Impressionists, can be seen in every painting. The interiors and exteriors are wholly imaginary, enticing and inviting the viewer "to wish they were there." His works are in many private collections in the U.S. and abroad. He was commissioned to paint murals, portraits of people of all ages, and illustrations in addition to his highly successful series of Romantic interiors and European style exteriors. Listings wanted.
