The Caribbean-born Artist John Lyons
often relies upon the rich vernacular folklore and
mythology of his homeland to conjure up images of such
immense power that you can hardly take your eyes off
them. Lyons describes his work as an 'ambivalent
pleasure' and a 'playful dialogue' but they are much more
than that. Intuitive and breathtaking, courageous and
disturbing- when you consider a painting such as 'Birth
Of Soucoyant' or 'Folklore Convention' you are intrigued
and repelled in equal measure, as you are forced to
acknowledge your own unique reaction to such powerful
imagery.
John is an
artist well known for his dramatic oil paintings, often
inspired by Caribbean folklore, but he has produced a
good number of woodcut prints throughout his illustrious
career and when he isn't painting, or woodcut printing,
or writing & reciting poetry, he will be found with a
sketchbook in his hands. There are literally hundreds, if
not thousands, of sketches we would like to get our
greasy dealer palms on. Maybe one day, eh
John?
