John P. O'Brien was an American Postwar & Contemporary artist (1951 - 2004). lived unfortunately for such a short period of time, but still managed to leave so much behind. John passed away on October 24, 2004 at the age of 53. 

John studied at the prestigious Art Student’s League in New York where he subsequently maintained a studio in Greenwich Village as well as in San Francisco and Paris. His academic achievement, combined with his eye for beauty and admiration for the American Impressionists, can be seen in every painting. The interiors and exteriors are wholly imaginary, enticing and inviting the viewer “to wish they were there.” He has been honored with many one-man shows throughout the United States. His works are in many private collections in the U.S. and Europe. He was commissioned to paint murals, portraits of people of all ages, and illustrations in addition to his highly successful series of romantic interiors and enticing European style exteriors.

John’s artwork conveys a series of mystery and romance seldom found in contemporary art. With exquisite craftsmanship, poetic ideals, and a modern awareness, he created a unique style, which has come to be known as “contemporary romantic realism”. His passion for France, Italy and Ireland can be seen in the romantic settings of elegant interiors, European street scenes, and neighborhood cafes and pubs.
