John Smith

John's love of the visual image and the contrasting, complex and direct messages they convey, are wonderfully illustrated in the immediate and clear simplicity of a small selection of his extensive works featured on this page.

His anarchic humour and honesty being the benchmark of his creativity; his natural talent for producing line drawings with speed and clarity, spontaneously transfer his inner visual thoughts and images to the canvas. His appreciation of colour with respect to meaning, contrast, conflict and sympathy complete the visually layered package, culminating in paintings that have an impact, illustrating life and its relationship with the world.
