John Beardman (born December 5, 1937 in Youngstown, Ohio) is a contemporary American artist. He is an abstract expressionist and a major contributor to “art as process” and "action painting" influenced by Willem de Kooning. His work has been the subject of several exhibitions in New York City, Louisville, Kentucky, Birmingham, Michigan and Nova Scotia, Canada. Beardman has received numerous creative artist's grants and fellowships. He currently lives and works in Pennsylvania and has a Studio in Manhattan, New York City.
At the age of twelve he moved with his family to a farm outside of Warren, Ohio and started painting at the age of nineteen. He was first intrigued with gesture painting and was later influenced by Dutch-American abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning.
From 1992 to 2016 Beardman did most of his art work in his “Studio in the Woods” in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. He also made an open-air exhibition in 2008 "A Song of the Woods" at his Canadian studio.
Beardman has exhibited at various galleries, including one person exhibitions in New York City at Carter Burden Gallery,[1] Noho M55 Gallery,[2] Denise Bibro Fine Art, Inc.,[3] Allan Stone Gallery, OK Harris Works of Art, Jayne H. Baum and 55 Mercer Galleries. In Louisville, Kentucky he has exhibited at the Brownstown Gallery and in Birmingham, Michigan at Art Space.
