John Sauer thinks of his work as a visual mix tape, with each painting part of a larger story. The goal is to connect with people and share a slightly wobbly view of the world using a wide variety of themes and interests, both highbrow and lowbrow, often with a little humor and a bit of pathos added.
With a background in illustration, over time he has shifted his focus toward an independent path in fine art. His paintings have recently been seen at Rogue Buddha gallery and a wide variety of venues and shows around the Twin Cities. His work is collected across the country.
