Born in Sydney in 1961, John Aslanidis studied Jazz and music theory at the Conservatorium of Music in 1982 and 1983 before studying painting at the City Art Institute and College of Fine Arts in Sydney. In the mid-1990s he was a member of Clan Analogue, a collective of electronic sound and visual artists. Since moving to Melbourne in the late 1990s, he has been regularly exhibiting in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and internationally including New York City and Berlin.

Aslanidis' work has a strong correlation with emergence theory, were complex patterns emerge out of simple interactions. Hi systematic approach relates to music, mathematics and sound physics.He has been included in numerous curated exhibitions in art museums in Australia, Germany and the USA. Aslanidis has received large commissions for site specific works including at Hamer Hall in the Victorian arts centre in 2012 and an 84 sqm wall painting for Longchamp's Omotesando boutique in Omatesando Tokyo in 2017. John Aslanidis is represented by Lennox St Gallery Melbourne, Gallery 9 Sydney, Ethan Cohan Fine Arts New York and Hilgemann Projects Berlin.

My intention is to create imagery where there is no starting or finishing point, capturing a fragment of infinity. In this regard my work has a strong correlation with emergence theory, were complex patterns emerge out of simple interactions 

This systematic and interdisciplinary approach has a strong correlation with music, mathematics and science.

The vibration created by the kinetic resonance of the sonic network series occupies a sensory dimension, which exists between sound and vision.

I am give a visual expression to the physicality of sound . my concern is with the physical reaction the viewer has to my paintings. A perceptual and serialized  approach with conceptual and systematic underpinnings

In a society devoid of optimism dysfunctionality becomes the default setting., aesthetics encoded with optimism embody social change.
