johnrosstudios

johnross is a pittsburgh based artist who works with recycled materials in creating his works. using metal scraps, discarded furniture, industrial machines, broken doors, auto parts, and vintage household appliances, johnross transforms ordinary objects into truly unique pieces of art.

pittsburgh's industrial heritage provides the perfect environment for johnross's work, allowing him easy access to old steel mill sites and industrial scrapyards where he finds many of the pieces and inspirations for his work.

johnross's unique style is the result of years of work at perfecting his trade through experimenting with new techniques, using various chemical interactions with his paints and materials, as well as through studying fine arts at youngstown state university and graduating with a visual communications degree from the art institute of pittsburgh.
