Lot 410
John Button Beach Hut 3 Acrylic and pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by AOAP About Born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, John grew up on England's east coast. He studied Architecture in Brighton and worked for many years with exhibition design, interiors and illustration. After moving to Sweden with his young family, John began painting and exhibiting more actively. More recently he's expanded his gallery representation beyond Sweden to throughout the U.K and to the U.S.A. In his paintings, he explores landscape and seascape through its patterns and textures, attempting to trigger a memory or a sense of place and ignoring conventional rules of perspective along the way. In his still-life studies, John tries to tease something extraordinary out of his everyday surroundings. Inspiration for John lies all around, from an un-cleared breakfast table to an upturned boat on a shingle beach or the childhood memory of a family walk.

Education MA Fine Art UCA, Postgraduate drawing year Royal drawing school, BA History of Art Birkbeck University of London. Select Exhibitions/Awards Royal Academy Summer exhibition 2020, 2023, Hampstead art society 2021, 2022 Gallery Representation Python Gallery Kirchgasse, 8001 Zurich Switzerland Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork The painting as an object is more important than the initial subject, although the ordinary object has always fascinated Michelle - she is not necessarily looking for the most beautiful subject, but rather a subject which allows for the use of nuanced colour and light to create a harmonious image. After reading such authors as George Perec about their observations of the everyday as opposed to the sensational which we are bombarded with in the media, she began a deep visual study of the ordinary. Her recent still lifes are about looking at the everyday object beyond its daily role and seeing it as shapes and colours. Her paintings are often seen as quiet and calm, which is not necessarily done consciously, but she tends to choose harmonious palettes and compositions.
