John Eisler

John Eisler is a Toronto-based artist. His stain paintings and wall reliefs represent an exploration of painting as an exuberant proliferation of compromised and deteriorating surfaces.  A repetition of geometric forms results in a kaleidoscopic sampling of gestures, layers, and signs, which can also be found in his drawings and sculptures. John Eisler recently completed his M.F.A. at the University of Guelph, 2008. He received his BFA from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 1997, with a concentration in painting.  He has had a number of solo exhibitions at Paul Kuhn Fine Arts in Calgary, including: Calendar (2006) and Per second Per second (2004).  Recent group exhibitions include: University of Guelph MFA Program Exhibition at Birch Libralato in Toronto (2007) and 5 Degrees at the Art Gallery of Calgary (2002).
