Artist Statement:
‘Singers of Songs & Makers of
Musics’ -...is his series of
unique pen & ink drawings
portraying the many faces,
sometimes through the changing
years, of various musicians &
singers who have influenced &
inspired so many…...
...the majority of these
drawings are done using a
'stippling' or 'pointillism'
technique; thousands of ink
dots creating a sense of depth
and realism. Many also
incorporate the words of songs
providing the depth and tone
of the portrait in a highly
original manner. Using
commercially available drawing
pens, this method,whilst
infinitely rewarding, requires
extreme patience and
discipline!
A recent venture into the use
of acrylics to create larger
media related works has proven
to be immensely popular &
John's take on the popularity
of so-called 'pop art' or
'icon art' is to add enough
detail, depth & quality of
feeling to effect a move away
from mass produced images,
creating something truly
original! It is this area of
painting which currently
constitutes the bulk of his
work, at times defining shape
in monotone, to produce an
image that is instantly
recognisable, primarily in
portraits, is an immense
challenge, but has proved
popular with everyone who
views the results....

| Your Personal Biography |
“...one of my aims is to give people the opportunity of owning an original artwork at a very affordable price and on a scale which will suit modern homes…”
"...my aim is to create a work that satisfies on 2 levels; compositions with impact as well as, on closer inspection, a world of detail that invites the viewer to linger awhile!! "
"...I feel art should serve to remind us of the universal inter-relation of all things, of unity and harmony. Most precious is the relationship between the artist and the viewer!"
...his highly acclaimed pictures/drawings have been exhibited all over Cheshire, the Midlands & the North West of England.......
….his interest in portraying musicians is paralleled by his enthusiasm for making music-he is a member of Special Crew, a Midlands based folk rock band and is a founder member of Widnes based GogMAgoG, a Celtic influenced folk band |
