Hungarian-born, Tampa Bay-based artist John Gurbacs bridges the gap between the natural and man-made. His oil paintings embody both the closeness and contrast that exist in this mutuality through bright colors and interconnecting geometric and naturalistic forms. Gurbacs moves between microscopic detail and cosmic scale in order to reveal the visual relationships between tropical foliage, construction debris, fractals, and planetary bodies. Having created art in the Tampa Bay area for over 50 years, his works are heavily influenced by Florida’s natural landscapes.
