My name is John Curtis and I am an artist from Bristol, I have studied at Brunel College of
Art and Design in Bristol and Falmouth College of Art in Cornwall and have been painting
and drawing ever since I could hold a pencil or paintbrush.
My work is abstract and I work in various mediums, my artwork is inspired by experiences &
surroundings to create colourful, contemporary artwork. My favourite artists are M C Escher,
Jackson Pollock & Picasso. I am influenced by Graffiti Art, Modern Art & Pop Art and even Video Games as well as my own personal experiences, travels & my photography.
