MARCH 2  John Killeen From The Street 

Introducing self-taught artist John Killeen, originally from St. Louis. With a background in architectural engineering, he has recently come to the practice of oil painting, Killeen previously explored techniques and motifs, traveling back and forth from the US to Europe. After quarantining in Spain in 2019, he settled in New Orleans similarly intrigued by the “European flavor” of the Vieux Carre, as were those intrepid artists of the early twentieth century.

He is focused on capturing the beauty of historic buildings and streets in works that evoke a sense of feeling through strong draftmanship and expressive color use. John’s practice is a mix of both plein-air and studio work. What is unique to his street scenes is the soft focus, which evokes a dreamy sensibility even in the most industrial scenes. Killeen has his home in the Bywater.
