John’s exhibition draws from his experience as a background actor playing a Russian soldier, transforming this role into a commentary on visibility, illusion, and art. His self-portrait in camouflage explores identity, labor, and artistic practice. The landscapes in the show shift between realism and illusion, drawn from phone snapshots on the way to shoots. Though rooted in familiar terrain, the works reflect a surreal, fast-moving world shaped by conflict that remains unseen.
