John Penney

John is an artist living and working in Ellesmere. He has been working and selling paintings for over 25 years, both part time and full time. Nowadays working as a full time artist he sells and markets his work via personal contacts , local galleries and exhibitions, and his own and other online art websites.

John works in acrylic paint. His paintings are generally representational, employing intense colour, and often complex perspective and composition, usually  heavily peopled, and with a strong sense of story "narrative". There is often a strong sense of semi-surreal fantasy "dreamscape" feeling to his paintings too - described by the artist as "magical realism" , and also often an underlying humour  . 

Examples of his work are always available at the SPACE Gallery on Scotland Street in Ellesmere, which also stocks a range of cheaper framed prints of his work, aimed at the local visitor market. A fuller range of John's work can be viewed on his Online Gallery www.artistjohn.co.uk
