Nude, Untitled (2005) 绘画 由 John Dotson

Born in 1953 i was raised in the mtns of Tennessee. I have come to the belief that there are two kinds of people iinthe world: those who live in Tennessee, and those who wish they did!!

Having seen beyound the Box of my people they maintain their lack of vision.

My art contains a lot of nude fems, but then again true spirituality comes from the feminine energys first, mostly, and we male types provide the physical, material aspect. This is best expressed when the female either in love or just her own animal passions mingles with the male and creates something - sometimes a life, or bringing the vision or dream to life.

i recieved very little "professional" training; I began at an early age to hold a pencil and draw, or look at images and take them to make my own story or vision. By the time i did get a degree in art I had been doing and selling on a semi-commercial level for 30-plus years. That was in the early 90's. I had been selling art on a fairly good level scale since 1975, outselling the person who introduced me to pigments like oils.

I quickly moved away from oils to acrylic, allowing me more freedom and speed in my works, and a wider range of subjects. I studied Frazetta, Kirby, and other illustrators and artists of similar vein; i moved into fantasy and expressions of human spirituality and omse more real subject "fairy art" which covers more than bug-wings on babes.

I was moving into expressions of what later was to be knopwn as Quantum mechanics, Quantum universes, and creation via Super String Theory, but back then i didn't know what that was, it simply poured out of me.

I'm also influenced by van Gough who it seems may have also had my visions of beyound this reality we commonly see and know. We call it Expressionism, but is it really more?

Good question; I'll let you know if Id
