The Artist
At Headway John will be reliably found pen in hand conjuring up new pieces of work in the art studio or singing Beatles and Stones’ hits in the music room.
He is particularly known for his joyous portraits of animals recognisable by their unique blend of bold line and ambiguity of form – is that an eye or an ear? A mouth or a nose? A mouth AND a nose?
His style is distinctly “John”. Things waver and are not always entirely clear. With few lines, John creates intriguing wondrous characters, his pen uncovering and expressing the essence of and delight in whatever he’s drawing. His work makes you look again. Rarely do you walk past a “John” and not smile.
John is always enthusiastic to try something new and in addition to works on paper, has created a wonderful collection of ceramics.
