About The Artist |
|
John Walsom is a Surrey artist who's renowned for
his paintings of architectural subjects. He has
illustrated the buildings of some of the best
known companies and people in the world. He can
also be commissioned to paint a very affordable
portrait of your house, garden or favourite view,
in watercolour or oils. Visit his website to see
more paintings and testimonials. |
John began in the 1970's by selling his paintings of local scenes from the railings of
the Bayswater Road in London. Most of these
early works are now scattered around the world,
from the Americas to Japan. In the 1980's he
worked at a much larger scale as a scenic
artist, painting huge canvases and backdrops for
live theatre.
|
|
Since 1990 John has
specialised in painting architectural subjects,
in oils, watercolour and acrylics. His success
has been built on a sense of enjoyment and light
in all his pictures, and a thorough
understanding of his subjects and his technique.
|
 |
|
The demand for his work today means that most of
his time is filled with commissions for paintings
and illustrations. |
|
John has
produced pictures for banks and property
developers, magazines, advertising agencies,
architects and designers.
|
His clients include: The
Royal Bank of Scotland, The University of
Cambridge, Historic Royal Palaces, Rolex Watch
Co., Holmes Place, Land Securities, J Walter
Thompson, McCann Erickson, Guardian Weekend
Magazine, Berkeley Homes, Hammerson, Costain,
Barratt, Building Design Partnership, Sheppard
Robson, Chapman Taylor Partnership, Opera North,
and The Oxford University Press.
|
|
He has exhibited at the
Royal Academy Summer Show, and has recently
completed a commission to produce the painting
for the 2009 "Oxford Almanack" - an annual
publication of the Oxford University Press.
Previously commissioned artists include JMW
Turner, John Piper, David Gentleman and Sir Hugh
Casson. |
John lives in Thames
Ditton, Surrey with his family and works from
his studio in Kingston Upon Thames. When he's
not painting he likes playing blues guitar,
and/or drinking beer in the sun.

Architectural Portraits |
|
Portraits of buildings, from
private houses to modern office developments,
can be commissioned at all sizes from small
watercolours to very large oil paintings. They
can reflect pride in a new development or
affection for an old building. |
|
The colours and design are
inspirational but the whole process is governed
by a respect for the craft of painting. The
finished paintings evoke the very specific
atmosphere of each place, in the nature of a
true portrait. |
|
John Walsom wants his
pictures to have a positive impact. "I've always
tried to paint pictures that people will want to
look at, for a long time, without getting bored.
People are proud of their buildings. They love
the way they look at certain times of day, in a
certain season, and a reminder of that moment
makes them happy. It's all about capturing a
moment in the life of a place." |
