John Pyper is an artist living in Arlington MA. He received his BFA from SMFA/Tufts.  His work records ephemera- the harmonious moments found in the noise of the world. His current favorite ephemeral topics are the backgrounds of video games, trucks on the highway, and empty sport fields.

Recent shows include Monumental Idea, Miniature Book (mimb.org for locations), Rerun: The Relation Between a Symbol and a Symptom at the MFA Boston, and Identification Please at Columbia College, Chicago.

He has curated three portfolios for the Southern Graphics Council, Singularities at Roxbury Community College, and Salad Days, a portfolio of contemporary letterpress.

His work is in the collections of Boston Public Library, Print and Photography Department, Virginia Commonwealth University, Kansas City Art Institute, Columbia College, the Southern Graphics Print Collection, and in private collections.
