BIO
John Boyd-Dunlop’s art career began later in life, with his paintings becoming a vivid extension of his experiences, family, and memories. Despite this late start, John has quickly made up for lost time. His prolific practice has resulted in an extensive catalogue of work, with numerous exhibitions to his name.
Play is a crucial element in any artist’s process, and it is central to John’s. In true outsider fashion, his work is liberated from the constraints of expectation, allowing for a genuine exploration of creativity. As a self-taught artist, John’s approach is refreshingly uninhibited, attracting audiences with its honesty and humor. His experimentation with traditional media in unconventional ways adds to the unique character of his work, both in subject matter and technique.
