John Bolam Abstract Drawings and Watercolors

English, 1922-2009

John Bolam was born in 1922 in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. He originally studied painting at the Hornsey School of Art and furniture design at High Wycombe School of Art. He subsequently became a member of the Great Bardfield group of artists. Close friends and colleagues from that time included Michael Rothenstein, Edward Bawden, John Aldridge and Edward Middleditch. From 1970–83, Bolam was Head of the School of Art at Cambridge College of Arts and Technology. He is seen by many as following in the path of the neo-Romantics, most notably John Piper and Graham Sutherland, but his imagery subsequently evolved independently. Bolam was also strongly influenced by French artists such as Braque and Degas as well as the English landscape, especially the Chilterns.

Floreos

Located in Boston, MA
About the piece: Floreo, "Flower" in Spanish, has special meaning in flamenco dance. Words that describe this piece:outsider, intuitive, blue, monochrome, dynamic, action, flamenco, movement Artist Biography: Mark A. Lembo Script M Abstract Art Mark’s dynamic work blurs the distinction between alcohol ink and watercolor - working with dyes, inks, liquid acrylic, liquid watercolor, and other aqueous media; lately, he has been incorporating metallic watercolor and pearlescent ink to his work. He has used canvas, synthetic Yupo™ paper, Yasutomo Mineral Paper, and various watercolor papers. Mark’s journey into the world of creative arts started with the question, “What would Jackson Pollock’s work look like if he had used transparent watercolors?” So, it was out with the pencils, pens, and brushes, and on to the pouring of various aqueous solutions. While mostly self-taught, Mark took a series of classes at the Creative Arts Group, Sierra Madre, CA, under Joe Stoddard, as well as seminars with Robert...
