Use of simple geometric forms placed in non-illusionistic space combined with nonobjective compositions equate to geometric art. And John Powers' work embodies this definition.

Born in Chicago in 1970, Powers began his art career in Washington State as an apprentice to sculptor Tom Jay. His time with the sculptor opened him to bronze casting and the works of the northwest native carvers (whom he also worked with). An alumnus of both Pratt Institute and Hunter College, Powers also studied anatomy while learning to pull the ropes of art with Jay.
