John Sprakes

Art Brokerage: John Sprakes British Artist: Most of his paintings are taken from life. John uses drawing as an act of discovery, allowing him to explore the visual world. Drawing is the starting point for most of his ideas. The landscapes of Norfolk, Suffolk and Northumberland are a constant source of inspiration to him. Wide expanses and the intense light found along these coastlines evoke emotions that inhabit his paintings. He is transported into a world of light and color which is often intense, full of mystery and peaceful isolation. John's still life paintings draw upon memories that are historical, social, and of childhood days distilled together in the final image. Listings wanted.
