John Coburn a Canadian artist was born in Hamilton and based in Toronto. He is best known for his pen & ink line drawings & bold oil on canvas paintings. Coburn’s work is represented by Beckett Fine Art (Hamilton), Gagne Contemporary (Toronto/New York), and Sybil Frank Gallery (Prince Edward County). John can often be spotted working on location in big cities around the world. He has had exhibitions in London, New York, Toronto, Hamilton, and Tokyo.
Since age 17 New York has been a special place for Coburn, where his work can be seen in galleries, Museums, books, a Macy’s commercial, and Gracie Mansion - the Mayor’s Home.
In the days following 9/11, John headed to New York City and went directly to ground zero and started drawing. These drawings culminated in a book titled Healing Hearts and were delivered to the families who lost loved ones. Of these original works, 27 are now in the permanent collection of The September 11 Memorial & Museum in Manhattan.
John exhibited his Healing Hearts drawings at Sciame Construction Head Office on Wall Street, for the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, as well as The Canadian Consulate General, NYC, on the 15th Anniversary of 9/11.
For the 20th anniversary, a rare showing of additional 9/11 drawings was shown to the public for the first time at Beckett Fine Art, as well as Silvermine Arts Center in New Canaan, CT.
