Troika Gallery Artist, John Davis Held will be featured at Artexpo New York which opens next week in Manhattan.
Known for his luminous work in pastel and oil. Held’s work often has an extraordinary sense of light and is deeply spiritual. His art conveys feelings of joy, lightness of spirit, and somehow, a sense of both peace and excitement simultaneously.
Each year thousands of art industry insiders flock to Artexpo New York in search of the art and artists that will shape trends in galleries worldwide. Hosting more than 35,000 avid art enthusiasts annually, Artexpo New York is the largest international gathering of qualified trade buyers—including gallery owners and managers, art dealers, interior designers, architects, corporate art buyers, and art and framing retailers.
John Davis Held has had One Man Shows at the Antreasian Gallery, The National Institute of Health,. and the prestigious Troika Gallery in Easton, where he is currently represented. He has appeared on CBS and Fox news, and his art was featured this last December on MPT Artworks as well as being displayed on the 60 foot jumbo tron across from Penn Station in Baltimore. After several years living in Seattle, he now lives in a historic Tudor home in Baltimore with his beautiful wife and their two cats.
In his many travels, John Davis Held spent several months living in an African Hut, before hitch-hiking across Europe to paint the cathedrals, castles, and countryside. “Is the Universe conscious?” the artist seems to ask. “Is light itself conscious in some fashion?”
His studies in Astrophysics at Columbia University were not enough to answer these questions, and consequently, much of his art is an exploration into these mysteries.
Having gained confidence and grown as an artist, John has decided to dip his toe into one of the biggest art markets in the world by exhibiting his work at Art Expo New York 2019 taking place at Pier 92 from April 4th-7th.
