Imaginary Flowers: John Slosar Solo Exhibition

3812 Gallery is delighted to present “Imaginary Flowers”, John Slosar’s first-ever exhibition, at 3812’s London gallery. This inaugural presentation is both a personal milestone for Slosar (b.1956) becoming an artist and, for us, a meaningful affirmation of the trust and shared conviction that define 3812’s commitment to bold and ground-breaking artistic practices. 

 

At the heart of Slosar’s practice is a self-invented digital system: proprietary software he wrote to create and manipulate form on a virtual canvas. Far from distancing the work from authorship, this tool intensifies it. Every curve, grid, symbol and chromatic relationship is deliberately constructed and composed by the artist himself. The medium enables him to build intricate structures with exacting precision, while retaining full creative control. These are not generative works, nor are they assisted by artificial intelligence; each piece is individually conceived and resolved. The technology functions as an instrument—an extension of the artist’s hand and mind.

 

What makes these works particularly compelling is the way Slosar channels his passion for colour and symbolic form into compositions that reinterpret memory and lived experience. Having spent much of his life immersed in the visual dynamism of Hong Kong, he has absorbed a vocabulary of density, rhythm and chromatic intensity. In “Imaginary Flowers”, these impressions are distilled into arrangements of grids, blocks and layered shapes that feel at once structured and exuberant.

 

Colour plays a central role. It is the first language we learn to feel, and perhaps the most universal. Everyone loves colour, yet no two viewers read it in the same way. In Slosar’s works, colour becomes both emotional catalyst and connective tissue. The grids and symbolic motifs invite interpretation; viewers project their own associations while simultaneously encountering the artist’s carefully composed visual world. This reciprocal exchange—between artist, artwork and audience—animates the exhibition.

 

While Slosar acknowledges the legacy of geometric and modernist abstraction, his practice is not retrospective. Instead, it represents a forward-looking expansion of digital art as a serious and highly personal medium. By developing his own software, he has created a disciplined yet flexible framework through which intuition and structure coexist. The result is a body of work that feels at once analytical and lyrical—precise in construction, yet generous in emotional resonance.

 

For 3812, presenting John Slosar’s debut exhibition is deeply significant. It reflects our belief in artistic experimentation and in the courage to embrace new visual languages. That John has chosen to debut with us in London speaks to a shared spirit of exploration and mutual trust.

 

We invite you to engage with “Imaginary Flowers” openly and instinctively. Allow the colours to speak first. Observe how the symbols and grids unfold across the surface. In doing so, you may discover not only the contours of Slosar’s artistic vision, but also reflections of your own memories and perceptions—reawakened through the evolving language of digital art.
