FOUR PAINTINGS: (money for explosives) – John Thomas Emory Art Show Opening at Jet Wine Bar

August 4, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

pay as you go

Starting from Friday, August 4th and running through the early winter, Sojourn’s own bartender & artist John Thomas Emory will be displaying four of his works in the indoor bar at Jet. All paintings are for sale, with details and purchasing available through his website and $100 of each sale being donated to ATL Solidarity to assist in defending the Weelaunee forest against its razing for the construction of Cop City. John will be bartending for the opening night & serving up a special Cynar Black Manhattan signature cocktail alongside our regular bar menu, with complimentary bites available.

About the Artist:

Reminiscent of the DIY aesthetics of underground media, this work relies on tried-and-true cut-and-paste equations combining printmaking and roughshod painting techniques. Made with mediums and surfaces more likely obtained at a hardware store, marks are made either spontaneously or with malice aforethought resulting in a heuristic and hastened application and process. A transfer of images over multiple analog steps further skews the perception and vantage point of the viewer. Images appear and disappear, painted over, leaving little but the ghost of that which came before them.
