John Climenhage

Oil Painting

John Climenhage lives and paints in Peterborough, Ontario. He has been painting, teaching, and exhibiting through Canada and the US since 1989. His studio practice and en plein air landscapes experiment with postmodern approaches to abstract space based on contemporary philosophy and quantum physics.

John has taught art classes at Loyalist College, Prince of Wales Public School, and the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

His work has exhibited widely at public and private galleries across Ontario and is held in public and private collections around the world, including the Art Gallery of Peterborough.
