John spent the first 30 years of his career running creative businesses (he was Vice President of Entertainment at Disney for a while!) before ‘retiring’ to the South of France and pouring himself into life as an artist.
There he embraced the majesty of Aquitaine, a land fought over by kings for centuries. John’s work captures all this. Employing a medley of paper, paint and found objects, his multimedia collages feel abstract at first. Until the viewer notices something. It might be a tell-tale patch of birch trees. Or an ancient chateau peeking through the mist. And then we are transported to the most mesmerising region of France with the elegance of a modern tapestry.
