Lot Essay

John Kleckner’s visionary blend of mystic symbolism, realistic pen drawing techniques and liquid applications of colour are all fully visible in his Untitled (Pregnant Girl). Equal parts Art Nouveau stylization and progressive rock excess, this work is as loaded with texture as it is with provocative narrative meaning.
