Franklin Parrasch Gallery presents a selection of John Altoon’s drawings from the 1960s, revealing an artist driven by the act of drawing itself. In his final years, Altoon worked almost exclusively on paper with ink, pastel, and airbrush, producing frenetic, hazy compositions rooted in dreams and fantasy. Shaped by Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, these works channel his inner life through charged, spectral imagery.
