A Calgary native, John Boletta, is pushing the envelope in the mid-west art scene in a number of ways especially in regards to the focus-fusion artist. As a self-taught artist, John has been inspired and influenced by a wide range of artistic techniques and influences. John has taken on a piece of the hearts and mind-states of ancient and modern artists in the development of his art.

A pioneer in the mid-west in the realm of street art, John has evolved beyond the boundaries of urban art. He has grown from a young creative mind with a fast moving pen to an adult who has attempted to reconnect the images of the past with accents from the present.

John chooses to utilize the simplicity of shades and scales of grey in order to provide a refreshing yet traditional take on his art. He continues to produce his unique landscapes images that embody the influence of ancient traditional Japanese art with the urban twist of script work and perspective.
