“John’s definitive style is both grand in scale and yet deceptively simple; a paradoxical approach that has been labeled Zen engineering,” says Tom Savage. “The geometric forms that have defined his work for more than 40 years have their aesthetic and historical base in constructivism. ‘Complexus’ is one of his most significant pieces—a signature piece that is physically bold and at the same time embracing the light balletic movement, which suggests lift and gravity defiance.  The scale, color and sheer presence is both a focus for the Sarasota downtown landscape as well as a symbol for the city’s cultural heritage.”
