John Demoberg

This is an imaginary artist! John Demoberg creates fragmented urban abstract works inspired by city walls, torn posters, street signs, maps, and weathered architectural surfaces. His paintings combine layered blocks, broken typography, scraped textures, and muted industrial colours.

His palette often includes concrete grey, black, rust, faded blue, dirty white, ochre, and poster red. The works feel raw, constructed, and slightly chaotic, like visual records of a changing city.

Style

Demoberg’s work belongs to fragmented urban abstraction. He is interested in memory, decay, migration, and the traces left on public surfaces.

Artist Statement

My work begins with the surfaces of the city. I collect visual fragments: signs, walls, maps, numbers, and worn paper. I use them to build paintings that feel like places remembered in pieces rather than complete scenes.
