John Mosser (b. 1968) is a self-taught, established artist based in Portland, Oregon. For many years, he created work at Portland Art and Learning Studio, a fellow progressive art space that sadly closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This led to a temporary creative pause. In the summer of 2024, John returned to his practice with renewed energy, joining North Pole Studio and regaining access to the materials and community support vital to his work.

John is widely recognized for his extraordinary and prolific body of work, centered on dynamic studies of trucks. Evocative of a cubist sensibility, John translates the three-dimensional experience of place and movement into compelling two-dimensional compositions. His seemingly kinetic works reveal a deep fascination with motion and machinery, transforming mechanical subjects into vibrant, expressive forms.
