FASO Collector Recommends: John Lasater
Biography
As a representational painter, I’m attracted to the variety of formal possibilities in a motif; characteristics like the shapes of shadows or the colors of forms. I respond with playfulness, then objectivity, then moments of raw emotion, which often look like rescuing the effort with a unified simplification, or messing it up to give myself more problems to solve.
My hopes going forward are to integrate an ever-developing love of art history, and a deeper reliance on my imagination. It’s wonderful to spend a portion of my time giving back, and I hope to continue inspiring through writing and teaching; and more importantly, through a life dedicated to artistry.
b. 1970
Born and raised in Houston, John Lasater is an acclaimed artist currently residing in the picturesque hills of Northwest Arkansas. Initially recognized for his impressionistic style and bold brushwork, Lasater has undergone transformation through extensive travels and deep historical and experimental self-studies. This evolution has led his recent works to have a more contemplative and simplified approach.
A prolific figure in the plein air scene for many years, Lasater is widely regarded as one of the premier outdoor painters in America, evidenced by his invitation to join the prestigious Plein Air Painters of America. His numerous accolades include close to 50 top awards at events such as Door County Plein Air, Sedona Plein Air, Maui Plein Air Invitational, Plein Air Southwest Salon, and the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art. While outdoor painting remains integral to his artistic process, Lasater continues to push the boundaries of his craft with unwavering dedication and passion.
