John Wesley

John Wesley was a singular American artist whose flat, cool, pastel-toned paintings occupy a space all their own between Pop, Surrealism and Minimalism. Working in a restrained palette of blues and pinks, he rendered deadpan, often erotic or absurdist scenes — animals, pin-ups, cartoon logic — with immaculate line and quiet strangeness. Long a cult favorite among artists and a critical touchstone, Wesley is held in major collections and enjoys a devoted, growing market. Rosenfeld Gallery handles secondary-market works by John Wesley across paintings and works on paper.
