The Story.
John first developed a love of fine furniture over 60 years ago. By the time he was just fourteen years old he had made his first piece. By sixteen he was regularly making simple pieces as commissions and went on to design furniture for the likes of Heals and Liberty’s. He views his hands as mechanical tools and his drawing is more about thinking through form, structure and expression. He is known for taking the art of lamination to a form of high art, using multiple curved layers to generate shapes influenced by behavioural patterns and the human form. He now works on unique pieces, some taking up to three months to complete, for museums and private clients.
All prints are all archival, meaning they will last for well over 75 years. Most of his prints are reproduced on Hahnemühle Fine Art photo paper, regarded as one of the best photographic papers in the world. The majority of prints are printed using Giclée printing which reproduces incredible detail and brilliant colour, and has a higher resolution than traditional lithographic printing. All Limited Edition prints come with a Certificate of Authentication stating the print title, edition number, date of printing and are signed by the artist and stamped with his photographer's seal. The print itself is also titled, numbered and signed in pencil by the artist. All prints come with a pair of print handling gloves and a “Handling & Framing Your Print” instruction sheet.
Print sizes are quoted as the edge to edge dimensions of the paper itself, including the border around the image. Borders will vary according to the image dimensions, but will typically be between 1 to 2 ½ inches.
Each print will have a strict limitation to its edition run, plus a maximum of 2APs (Artist Proofs) marked 1/AP and 2/AP.
