John Bicknell is a painter whose work in the past thirty years has crossed between abstraction, figuration, film, the voice and performance. His work during the eighties and nineties centred on an exploration of abstraction and landscape.
More recent work has developed a figurative narrative drawn from wide ranging sources and influences including film, theatre, the history of painting, and photo-journalism. He has been based in the London area and leeds in the United Kingdom and has worked in collaboration with artists, film-makers and actors.
