John Mason (American, XX-XXI century). Cabo San Lucas, oil on canvas, 1994. Signed and dated at lower right. A luminous, almost otherworldly vision of Cabo San Lucas unfolds across this 1994 acrylic painting by American artist John Mason, a multi-disciplinary creator whose works draw deeply from music, computer animation, and ancient memory. Framed in a carved antique-style setting, the scene captures the sunlit majesty of El Arco, the iconic sea arch at Land's End, where desert meets ocean in a burst of light and turquoise. Rendered in striking, layered hues, Mason conjures a hypnotic interplay of sun and sea. Light shimmers over the rippling Pacific, caught in the crest of an emerald wave that lifts in the foreground. Beneath the surface, painted coral, fish, and aquatic flora quietly pulse in jewel tones - purple, orange, and seafoam - giving the impression of an entire underworld glowing beneath the breakers. Size of painting: 13.5" W x 17.75" H (34.3 cm x 45.1 cm); of frame: 20.5" W x 24.5" H (52.1 cm x 62.2 cm)
Mason has described his works as "paintings from the mind's eye" - visions that transcend the seen world. Here, that statement proves apt: Cabo is not merely depicted but reimagined, infused with mythic serenity and meditative rhythm. As both a visual artist and musician, Mason approaches composition like a symphony, orchestrating brushstrokes and color into waves of energy that seem to vibrate off the canvas. Though rooted in realism, this painting radiates with the mysticism and clarity of a remembered dream - a celebration of nature's innate splendor and the timeless allure of ancient shorelines. It is a work that does not just show a place, but transforms it into a state of mind.
