Whether a photograph of an abandoned village, grief-stricken- face, daunting mountain top, a sole prickly cactus, somber graveyard, weeping willow tree, or winding dirt road, Linton\u2019s compelling narrative reveals the inner secrets of the forgotten, impoverished, lonely-hearted, and misguided with a sense of heroic humanity.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>Inspired by fabled photographers Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Robert Frank and Vivian Maier, Jon describes his process as \u201cwalking on a tight rope to capture images that are painful to look at and then shows them to the world as a form of reconstitution.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>\u00a0Linton\u2019s photography began on the streets after losing a dear friend to a drug overdose. Jon recalls, \u201cHis death impelled me to take photographs of the unseen as a way to pay honor to his memory.\u201d The juxtaposition of his work is interwoven through stories of misery and mystery by the endless voices whose scents of obscurity are carried on a breeze like poison to the soul. Linton adds, \u201cI wear the despondency home, and in my own efforts to find restoration, I seek out quiet places to be still my balance.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>Immersed in the art world for more than two decades, Jon wants the work he creates to find resonance with its viewer, <strong>\u201cA good photograph is seen with the eyes, but a great photograph is felt in the soul.\u201d <\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><strong><em>VEN\u00dc gets first field of Linton\u2019s captures on film of the Ukrainian invasion to share with our audience and the collective will be exhibited at The National Museum of the Przemy\u015bl in Poland. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><em>Joining fellow activist, friend and Artist Roberto M\u00e1rquez, who was painting anti-war art in Ukraine, Linton went to chronicle the abyss of war. \u201cAppalled that one person can make a decision that left so many people deceased and fallen to the unjust tyranny of one\u2019s political agenda has made me realize how small our problems in our own country really are.\u201d \u201cWomen who lost husbands in combat, mothers who lost their sons, and people\u2019s lives who have been turned inside out. The entire time I was in Ukraine, I got an actual bird\u2019s eye view of the evil mankind is capable of. We are truly the most dangerous species on this planet.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>The contiguity in Jon\u2019s works displays endurance through suffering, grace in frailty, quietude in turmoil and love from indifference through the silent lens of his lucidities. \u2013 Yet, the allure of his arresting addictions is our connection to the outside world.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>We are bound together by Linton\u2019s captivating frames of insight. <\/em><\/p><h3><strong>ARTIST STATEMENT <\/strong><\/h3><p>Jon\u2019s first experience with a camera came around the age of 12 or 13. Jon fondly recounts, \u201cI used to borrow my mother\u2019s 35 mm Minolta and take photographs around the neighborhood. I\u2019d snap pictures until the film ran out.\u201d<\/p><p>After graduating from Eastern Illinois University with a liberal arts degree in 1987, Jon worked for Ralph Lauren in NYC. A colleague from Polo had left the fashion industry for a life in the gallery business and urged Jon to follow. Linton would start an art magazine in Arizona in 1998, for which he published for a decade. His publishing concern has also been responsible for creating exquisite books of art for many accomplished artists through the southwest and beyond.<\/p><p>The displaced Chicagoan has called the desert home for decades. In recent years his days have been spent making pictures, helping the voiceless, or publishing art. Linton shares, \u201cI am a man of deep passions and have various interests. I never feel like anything that I do is necessarily work. For this, I\u2019m truly blessed.\u201d<\/p><p>In 2012, Jon unveiled a robust body of street photography that captured the public\u2019s attention, and an exhibit called \u2018I Have a Name\u2019 followed. A book showcasing the work was published and the heartrending exhibition traveled through the west for several years. \u201cI had always enjoyed landscape photography, but only after the street portraits did I truly understand how deeply meaningful work in nature would become. Refuge from the painful images of the street has helped deliver photography that moves the heart in different measures. \u201cThe desert has a quiet sense of calm. The pale blue sky, indigo mountains, and majestic sunsets have a way of stealing your heart.\u201d<\/p><p>For our art enthusiasts, Linton\u2019s works are shown at the <em>Gallery of Fine Art<\/em> in Scottsdale annually, <em>Hidden in the Hills, <\/em>a twenty-five-year-old show in Cave Creek, Arizona and the Galisteo Studio in New Mexico.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonlintonphotography.com\"
