Artist Statement:
"Perhaps if I had a hundred
lifetimes to waste before
living one of significance, I
wouldn't paint, or write as I
do. The truth, or the fact
that beauty, body, sex or
sexiness--things of Biblical
loveliness--glow in shades of
cultural depravity, amuses me.
But I refuse to glorify the
molasses of repression."
John Nash was born in
Bakersfield, CA in April 1944.
Growing up, his family moved
throughout the western states,
allowing John to attend over
17 different elementary
schools, from rural, one-room
classrooms to military
academy. He has painted
continuously from the age of
3, and still loves poster
paint.
After finishing high school
in LA, John studied at
Southern Oregon College in
Ashland,OR; Shasta Junior
College in Redding,CA; and in
1964 entered the California
College of Arts and Crafts in
Oakland,CA. During 1967-68 he
helped inaugurate CCAC's
experimental campus at El
Molino near Patzcuaro,Mexico.
Having completed a double
major in printmaking and
painting, John and a female
classmate began traveling
together in the spring of
1969. Following a year's
worth of camping throughout
Europe, including a lenghty
Moroccan visit, the two were
married in Pacific Grove,
CA...
