John Sutherst

This exhibition is a fine collection of John Sutherst's latest works. In his own words:-

" I am a gynaecologist who retired early in order to devote more time to painting. I have been drawing and painting since childhood but it was largely on hold during the doctoring years. Now I get withdrawal symptoms when I am away from my studio.

My pictures are mainly about colour, whether they be landscapes, flowers or figure studies. Pastel is my favourite medium: I find that it is versatile enough to cope with all of these. But it is not easy to do large scale pictures in pastel. So I have recently shifted onto less figurative subjects in oil. The important bit for me is to keep learning because I missed out so many years."

He has works in private collections around the world and has had many solo and group exhibitions. John has a permanent exhibition at Bath Street Studios, Liverpool. …..and you can visit his website at: www.bathstreetstudios.com

The exhibition will open Monday to Friday between 12 and 4.00 pm from Tuesday 25th May until Friday 4th June. For details on how to get there see How to Find Us
