The Artist
John Blenkinsopp
is a Manchester artist based at Rogue Artist Studios. He paints
in both acrylics and oils on a range of surfaces including canvas,
board and paper.
His work
is figurative and tries to blend colour, draughtsmanship and
emotion. Images, many involving the human figure, range in mood
from the reflective and almost silent to those which are life-affirming
and vital.
He works
predominantly in print, particularly etchings, with some time
spent on painting and drawing, and has also undertaken a number
of other "themed" series of works such as the beaches of the
Turks and Caicos Islands in the West Indies, as well as still
life "sets" (sunflower series, reflections series), which allow
him to explore subjects in greater depth.
His inspiration
comes from the work of the painters like David Hockney, Euan
Uglow and Andrew Pankhurst, and the etchings of Rembrandt, Goya,
Dürer, Paula Rego and Norman Ackroyd.
He has shown
work in a number of exhibitions including The Stockport Open,
The Yorkshire Artists Show and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
All works
are for sale at prices from £250-£750.
