John Coburn

Queensland born artist John Coburn is celebrated for his distinctive style of abstraction.

Depicting the beauty of nature and the spirituality of landscape, Coburn refined a subtle yet powerful symbolic language in the form of large scale paintings and tapestries and vivid screen prints.

He is perhaps best known for his designs of two large tapestries for the Sydney Opera House curtains, and a series of seven curtains for the John F. Kennedy Centre of Performing Arts, Washington.

He is represented in the Australian National Gallery, Canberra; all state and regional galleries; and the Vatican Museum, Rome.
