John Glynn

John Glynn was born in 1964 in Plymouth, Devon, in the beautiful South West of England, but now living in Scotland.Always having an eye for the weird and wonderful, Johns interest in art began at an early age and developed over the years into a true passion, with a penchant for the abstract and surreal.Whilst experimenting with various types of media, Johns discovery of ink on paper allowed him to produce highly detailed and intricate work and afforded him a clarity of expression that was to become his hallmark.For an aspiring artist developing his craft, having to support himself and a young family was never going to be easy. Over the years, John has had to supplement his income from sales of his art by undertaking a range of different and often challenging jobs: from dustman to surveyor and from scaffold rigger to HGV lorry driver. Most recently he has spent time as a support worker, helping young adults with learning difficulties.Almost subconsciously, John found himself expressing many of his lifes experiences through his work in some shape or form, each piece being in some way cathartic. Recurring characters and themes within his work are often representative of personal experiences, although they may appear in different guise...
