Jon Rappleye

Jersey City, NJ-based artist John Rappleye's work is a re-imagination of cultural folklore combined with personal mythology. His mixed-media works on paper are populated by bizarre hybrid creatures and implausible phenomena, blurring organic and manufactured objects and processes in fantastical dream landscapes. Within these worlds, he uses nature as a foundation on which to explore ecological and technological issues, as well as our perceptions of reality and artifice. Rappleye's imaginative works attempt to reinforce viewers' appreciation for the mysteries of unknown and unseen forces.
