From a very early age, Essex born John Horsewell was aware of the love of art in his family, so it was as natural to pick up a paintbrush as it was for him to walk, since both his grandfather and both his parents are professional artists.
His paintings are executed with both brush and palette knife, which gives them a very noticeable texture, quickly communicating the pleasure of viewing the location. Johns works are painted with great flair, both in colour and execution, which gives them an air of excitement, thus providing the viewer with an invitation to “walk in”.
