English
artist John Bond follows in a fine tradition of artists who know and
love the varied and ever changing landscapes of East Anglia, France and
the Caribbean. His atmospheric studies, in oil, of shore or marsh,
field, fen or woodland capture the epitome of the scene observed.
Sometimes exiting tones reflect the warmth of the sun, sometimes subdued
hues evoke winter’s bite or the chill that comes with Autumn. Apparent
is an underlying response to the seasons and a respect for country life.
John’s use of figures within his work serves to add a narrative,
occasionally solitary and still, often working together, they generally
claim the focus of the paintings.
John was born in 1945, studied at The Norwich School of Art and then The
Central School of Art in London. His original work is much collected
thus his occasional one-man exhibitions are invariably sold out.
