John Duron, international artist, was raised in the Central Coast of California. In the mid eighties, he began his career in art at the L.A. Impression Fine Art Gallery located on Melrose in West Los Angeles.

In the early nineties, he was involved with Latin American Professional Women’s Association for their thirteenth Annual Showcase at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

In the mid nineties, he had a very successful one man show in Havana, Cuba, making him the first American artist to have a show there in forty years.

He has traveled extensively through the Caribbean’s and Europe, mostly Paris France, and Germany. He studied at the University of Salamanca, Spain in 1977. In 1992, he went to Florence, Italy to study the process of serigraphs, lithographs, and etching mono type under the instruction of Ruth Weisberg (Art director at USC). He has also spent years studying print making under the direction of Henry Klein and in recent years, has studied and worked with Dan Freeman, master printer for such great artists as Andy Warhol, and Robert Rauschenberg.

At the present time, John has developed a new technique of his own, working with patina on metal, as the main subject matter, developing new colors that are bright, and explosive.
