An exhibition of local artist John Abraham – self taught and working primarily in acrylics with the odd venture into watercolour. using a lifetime of looking to produce his art.
Born in Johnstone, Scotland, and now rooted in the North East of England, John Abraham paints not to explain, but to explore. After retiring in 2014, he turned fully toward art, embracing its quiet challenges and unexpected joys. Married to Cecily Harnett, with three grown sons, John finds meaning not in message, but in the act of making.
His work resists easy interpretation. It invites the viewer to linger, to feel, or to move on. Simplicity is his compass; freedom, his fuel. He paints what stirs him—never to meet demand, but to follow instinct. Originals matter more than multiples. And for John, the most honest art is the one that asks nothing in return.
“I live to paint, not paint to live.”
