John D. O’Reilly

geboren 1979 in Columbus, Ohio. 2007 schloss er sein Studium am Columbus College of Art and Design mit einem Bachelor ab. Jetzt studiert er an der New York Academy of Art.

“My work explores a wide range of issues, encompassing comparative vertebrate anatomy, to genealogy and familial development.  Through the manifestation of drawing and sculpture, my work asks viewers questions of perception in how we as human beings relate to each other through commonalties and differences therein.  My work has become a very personal presentation and travelogue of a study in sociology, psychology, and child development.”
