This is an original mixed media painting by David John.

It’s a Symphony is a bold geometric abstract painting defined by intersecting linear forms and layered surfaces that generate movement and spatial complexity. Angled bands cross the canvas, overlapping and converging to divide the composition into shifting planes, partially revealing and obscuring handwritten text beneath.

A restrained palette of deep blues, cool greys and muted golds brings cohesion, while textured passages, gestural marks, and calligraphic writing add contrast and visual richness. Fragmented words are embedded within the surface, introducing a subtle narrative element and reinforcing the layered construction.

Shifts in opacity and tone allow areas to advance and recede, enhancing depth and giving an almost 3D effect. Strong linear structures establish order, while irregular textures and traces of handwriting disrupt uniformity, creating a balance between control and abstraction.

This painting rather than being purely decoration presents a considered exploration of structure, layering, and movement, inviting sustained viewing through its interplay of form, texture, spatial depth and the written mark, and spatial depth which all adds to the visual experience.
