John Roelofs is an artist living in Los Angeles. His paintings scavenge compositional devices from a range of natural phenomena, including imaging of the cosmos, the polycrystalline microstructure of metals, and the dappled shadows on a forest floor. The idea that patterns repeat across vastly different scales informs his way of looking. By excavating what lies beyond the limits of perception and investigating how that percolates into the quotidian, he renders abstraction through the representation of the unseen collapsing into the mundane.

He is currently a dual-degree student in the MFA Art and MA Arts Management programs at Claremont Graduate University.
