Lineaments of Landscape
Exhibition of Recent Works by John Melvin
We are delighted to be exhibiting a selection of recent works by John Melvin in The Octagon. The collection of paintings all in one way or another draw their being from the ancient hills and valleys surrounding Whichford. John's abstract and semi-abstract iconography is a skilled celebration of the dramatic but gentle landscape of our surrounds.
About the Artist
After attending Hammersmith School of Art and Kingston School of Art, John Melvin trained as an architect and town planner. As an architect he enjoyed a successful career and his work has been widely exhibited abroad by the RIBA and British Council. His awards culminated in a Building of the Year Award from the Royal Fine Art Commission. In 1996 John Melvin was awarded the Sargant Fellowship at The British School at Rome and on his return he was given a one-man exhibition at The Prince of Wale's Institute of Architecture entitled Remembering Rome. His period in Rome was productive of other exhibitions: Roma, at the Stone Gallery, and Etruscan Places at the Architectural Association and the University of St Andrews. For many years, the gentle hills of the Cotswold landscape have furnished him with his subjects as a painter.
