To celebrate  40 years of exploring colour, I’m proud to Introduce my new series of abstract work, A Change of Viewpoint.

I decided in 1984 that I would  take the path less travelled and pursue a career in the Visual Arts. In 2024, I am still on the same path, and still learning; it’s too late to turn back now! For this series I am using a limited palette of blues, taking a three dimensional journey on a two dimensional canvas, with inspirational Jazz music as my companion. Let’s see where it takes us.

Here is the first piece I created – A Change of Viewpoint – which is also the title of the series .

Acrylic, gesso, gel medium, varnish on stretched canvas 35cm x 28cm.

Andy Warhol has now dropped into John’s Gallery!! Andy is joined by acquaintances like Marilyn Monroe, Dali, Elvis, Chairman Mao and Botticelli in the first tranche of John’s homage series “The Many Faces of Andy Warhol” to appear on this site.

John will be back in the RDS at ARTSOURCE, 10th to 12th November, stand J14.  His last RDS art fair was in 2003, 20 years ago.

His abstract and stylised art will be on view  as will his ongoing homage series to Andy Warhol, which he started in 2007

.

John is delighted to report that his painting “There’s a crack in  everything, that’s how the light gets in” achieved €4,000 in a recent auction on behalf of GOAL, supporting its work to alleviate suffering in Syria and Turkey in the wake of major earthquakes.

Due to high levels of interest, the Gallery is extending its closing sale for weekends or by appointment throughout December. Reductions of 33% on John’s originals and 20% on prints will continue until the Gallery’s doors close. John thanks Michael and everyone associated with the gallery over the past few years and offers good wishes to everyone for the future.

The SeaRooms Art Gallery in Monkstown, which has hosted John on many occasions over the past three years, and has exhibited his works on an ongoing basis, will sadly close its doors for the last time on 30 November.  In the lead up to closing, the Gallery is offering a 33% reduction on John’s seriously addictive original abstracts and a 20% reduction on prints.
