Jon Sarkin (1954–2024) was a visionary artist based in Gloucester, MA. His studio at 39 Main St remains open to the public and is a must-see attraction for anybody visiting the area.
He was best known for his frenetic and visually arresting drawings and pantings, which mix words and images. These drawings and paintings cross-hatch and scrawl their way through pop-culture, rock ‘n’ roll, the mundane, and the subconscious.
He has exhibited in New York, Boston, L.A., Oxford, Princeton, Liverpool, and London, and Paris. His work is in the collections of The Centre Pompidou in Paris, The American Visionary Art Museum, and the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA. Jon's work is also in the possession of several prominent private collections, such as those of musicians Pete Townshend and Warren Ellis.
