John Maggiotto

"From television to the great rivers of America, I have captured images in the most painterly fashion. "

Whether creating photo emulsions on marble or stunning fine art prints, John Maggiotto creates images that are textural and painterly, explorative and meditative.

To create his highly innovative prints on marble, Maggiotto paints a photosensitive emulsion onto stone slabs from a quarry near his home. This allows a print to be made directly on the hard stone, resulting in compelling pieces with a unique look.

John Maggiotto studied art history and studio photography at the State University of New York at Buffalo. His true apprenticeship in fine arts took place at Hallwalls, an alternative artists' collective, which led to a three-year position at the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, DC.
