Allexandria, 2025
Bellaron Gallery is pleased to present Mythic Editions, John Varriano’s first exhibition to feature limited-edition prints based upon the artist’s work with mythological motifs. .
The exhibition Mythic Editions will be on view at our 219 East 69th Street location from October 2 to December 31, 2025, A new catalogue from Bellaron Publishing will accompany the presentation.
Mythological motifs have occupied a substantial part of Varriano's career and represent some of his most profound images. Enamored with heroic and mythological motifs since childhood, Varriano has had a long and intimate relationship with their deeper meanings and nuances. The stories and symbols that bubble up from the unconscious and are part of humanity’s shared heritage appear to Varriano in what can only be termed visionary form. For Varriano, what is particularly enthralling about myths is their ability to speak and direct us toward higher, loftier truths. “Each time we turn to them, they reveal something new, which can never be completely discerned or exhausted.”
The exhibition features several of Varriano's ground-breaking styles, including the artist’s Abstract Structuralism, Figuratism, and Metamorphism, in addition to his lauded abstract expressionist manner, and makes available his profoundly illuminating works to a larger audience of collectors.

John Varriano, American Artist
John Varriano is a painter and sculptor living in New York. His command of abstract oil painting and sculpture is otherworldly, giving his audience a masterful outpouring of explosive forms, shapes, and textures counterbalanced by stark discipline, containment, and restraint. Varriano handles paint and the transmission of ideas with exceptional “grace,” leading one to conclude the higher worlds he captures are his natural habitat. Rather than shock and awe, Varriano delivers only awe.
Working long, solitary hours in his studio, his creative process is a fully engaged, rigorous exercise that involves powerful, dynamic, and disciplined mental, emotional, and physical prowess. Serving as a conduit between the collective unconscious and conscious mind, Varriano progressively brings to light those elements once dark and hidden.

Varriano’s abstract works offer an encounter with higher states of consciousness and inner evolution. He provides the visual landscape that can witness and cultivate a dialogue with the transcendent spirit dwelling within. Higher mathematics, physics, color, shape, harmony, and music play significant roles in these creations. Varriano shows us worlds dwelling within worlds, the interplay of form and movement, and life pulsing through hardened stone as atoms move, collide, and reorient themselves.
He reveals the secrets of antiquity and prophecies for the future layered upon one another. And he shows us what it looks like when the spheres speak, and harmony and lyrics take on material form. A virtuoso with color, shape, texture, and tactility, Varriano's paintings are bold and magnificently orchestrated.
A highly gifted and prolific artist, Varriano has created an important and evocative series of interrelated conceptual categories (Abstract: Metamorphism, Surrealism, Crystalism, Figurativism, Structuralalism, and Spiritism) that symbolize progressive developments and the flowering of abstract art. The first four are featured prominently in this new exhibition.
John Varriano was the first artist in more than 50 years to have a painting featured on the cover of the New York Times accompanied by an in-depth article. NBC news dedicated a special television segment on the artist that proved so popular it ran in New York taxi cabs for a month. Globo TV, Brazil’s largest network and ABC.es in Spain have also featured stories on the Varriano. Among other media outlets have been Vanity Fair and Greenwich Time.
Varriano has exhibited his work in gallieries in New York, Palm Beach and Abu Dhabi. Since 2024, he is represented globally by Bellaron Gallery, located on the upper east side of Manhattan.
