John Nolan was born in Dublin Ireland in 1958. Since then he has developed a very distinctive style which is instantly recognisable. For John, painting is in his blood, his father was an artist and was a huge influence. From the time he was three John had a paintbrush in his hand.
With his usual modest demeanour John claims that his approach is basically spontaneous. He has great knowledge in colour theory and art history. He talks of colour/depth reversals wherein the normal warm-colours-in-the-foreground, cool-colours-in-the-background rules were intentionally ignored to create new and exciting dynamic.
John Nolan’s exuberant style combines bold outlines with bright exotic colours. His interpretation of various motifs transmits a positive upbeat feeling to his viewers. These motifs are: Fish, Flowers, People, Birds, Still Life, Abstract, Collage, Landscapes. He also explores colour in his abstract and contemporary styles.
