Educated: School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Lives and works in Brooklyn

John Platt (b. 1984) was born and raised in New York City, immediately exposing the young artist to the worlds' great capital of art and culture. Early visits to the Museum of Modern Art opened his mind to the possibilities of being a painter, a career path that took him to The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where he graduated in 2007. Platt has honed his skills as an abstractionist by allowing a wide range of media architecture, fashion, music, photography, film to influence his work. Platt has exhibited globally and currently splits his time between NYC and Africa, where he founded the art education program How to Draw a Lion.
