Contemporary Pieces

Some people have the gift of synesthesia - the ability to see music as colour,

others have to develop the skill.

Wassily Kandinsky

Contemporary Portsmouth
 

The Contemporary Portsmouth series is heavily influenced by the style of Wassily Kandinsky. The images retain many elements of the original view and in order to achieve this, line form and colour have been deconstructed and then reconstructed in the artist's mind.

Other pieces are  John's unique styles.

Urban Life
 

In this unique set of mixed media pieces, John has attempted to express his own personal responses to issues that affect urban life, some of which are particularly associated with Portsmouth. The use of striking primary colours attracts the viewer's attention to the theme of each work.
