"Restrictions"
A master of fantasy and surrealism, John Pitre has been a carries
the distinction of being one of the most widely published artists
in modern history. As a story teller, Pitre uses his paintbrush to
comment on the most profound questions concerning man, and
to create a reflection of our times and the world in which we live.
He creates entire imaginary worlds completely from his mind,
using artistic expression as a vehicle for powerful social
commentary. Well before they became the significant social
issues of our times, Pitre's surrealistic renditions of the threat of
overpopulation, the ominous shadow of nuclear war, and the
ecological deterioration of our planet became widely popular as
poster images, selling in the millions. One image alone,
Restrictions, sold an estimated seven million copies. Through his
art he continues to bring to our attention important aspects of
our Human condition, and as a result of his visionary talents, his
social commentary paintings are now considered
twentieth-century classics  

A modern day DaVinci, Pitre holds over thirty patents to his name.
He is a pioneer in many fields; he explored the depths of the
oceans with diving gear he designed himself, long before
commercial dive equipment was available. His affinity for the high
seas led to patents for generating electricity from ocean waves
and currents. He learned to fly every form of aircraft available to
him, including a unique, one of a kind configuration that he
personally conceived of, engineered, and built. Still an
adventuring aviator; he now owns and flies his own Helicopter.

Through his scrupulous study of human anatomy in the arts he
has also designed some of the worlds most advanced fitness
equipment, that can be seen today in many of the worlds finest
gyms. His credits in this field include the Questar line of fitness
equipment and the ROM (Range of Motion) which was awarded
the Best of What's new in 1993 by Popular Science Magazine, and
the Time Works that was one of TV's most successful
infomercials. He also developed and patented a new proprietary
formulation paint for artists' based on space age polymers.

Look beyond the surface, and into the depths of paintings by
John Pitre, and you will look into the mind and soul of a great
thinker. Through his social commentary art and visionary
paintings he shares with you his vision of our purpose in the
universe, and reminds us of the responsibilities we have as
moral beings and as stewards of our planet. He tells us about life
as a human citizen here on Earth, warning you about its
difficulties and pitfalls, but also portrays the beauty and magic
that each one of us possesses within. He encourages you to
follow your longings and aspirations to achieve your dreams, but
to hold dear the relationships we have with all other men.

His work is transcendental in nature and many people derive
their own profound yet private meaning from them. When
describing Pitre's work most people tell you not of its
appearance, amazing as it is, but rather of their own personal
moment of epiphany inspired by the paintings of this master.
