About

John was born in London in 1952. He studied at of Harrow and Central Schools of Art from 1970 to 1974. During the seventies and early eighties he worked with a number of artists including Peter Blake, Anthony Caro, Patrick Caulfield, Jim Dine, Barry Flanagan, John Hoyland, David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, Richard Hamilton, Allen Jones, Robert Motherwell, Ben Nicholson and Frank Stella in London, Europe and the United States. Since 1980 John has shown consistently all over the world; in London galleries, for example, Odette Gilbert Gallery Cork Street, The Mayor Gallery and The Lefevre Gallery and in San Francisco at The Charles Campbell Gallery. In Houston Texas at Somoza Simms and in Tokyo at Spark Inc. Also his work has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions in numerous art fairs. His paintings, prints and sculptures are in many public and private collections world wide.

John has been severely restricted over the years by his long term condition related to his treatment for cancer but there are now reasons for great optimism as his health improves. In February 2024 after 27 years of various operations, interferon, chemotherapy, radiotherapies etc he was considered by his team at UCHL to no longer need any further treatment or appointments. The miracle continues.

For health reasons John moved from his much loved old biscuit factory in the East End of London to an equally lovely old tanning factory in Suffolk, where he has lived and worked since 2009.
