John Latona
Buffalo, NY based fiber artist, John Latona has been honing his skills in textile and material studies over the last five years. Most recently as an ‘Artist in Resident’ at SUNY Buffalo State College, he has blended his passion for silk-screening and machine embroidery to create dynamic posterized portraits.
John utilizes his distinctive personal style by channeling his personal struggles, triumphs, and greater societal questions into his work. Drawing inspiration from street and pop art, he pushes to advance contemporary fiber and textile design by harmonizing traditional techniques with unconventional material application.
John’s work has been showcased internationally in Slovakia and Prague, as well as locally at The Burchfield Penney Art Center, Indigo Art Gallery, and Dr. Margaret E. Bacon Gallery. Follow John on Instagram for updates on shows, projects, and more.
