His stunningly realistic compositions redefine our environment whether on land or at sea. Recognized as a leading representational artist, John sets a new precedent in the art world. Uniting a remarkable eye for hyper-realism with an unrivalled talent in the use of composition, color and light, D’Antonio’s work is at once modern, yet integrates a free, suggestive, painterly quality. Schooled at the Rhode School of Design, the Art Students League Lehigh University and the Hun School of Princeton, He has a rare talent for capturing the essence of his surroundings and offers an innovative commentary about familiar subjects.
His paintings actually make us us feel as if we are there; whether at the helm of an offshore racing yacht headed out of a storm on the high seas, standing at the edge of a field with brilliant colored skies just before nightfall; or as an innocent character in threatening surroundings. He makes you part of his world. They reveal a remarkable eye for telling detail united to a virtuosic facility with composition, color and light. D’Antonio’s work and diverse subject matter solidifies a precision and clarity to his paintings, giving a cutting edge; high impact feel – while capturing the energy and mystery of his subject.

“He Has Such Power, But In Several Different Ways," Said Stringer. "He Has Elements Of Wyeth, But A Bit More Contemporary, With A Haunting, Quiet Strength.”
