John Sutton

Following a number of years teaching Art, an exhibition in the Assembly House Norwich, where a London art dealer saw his work and subsequently offered him a one man exhibition, allowing him to concentrate on painting full time. Following this there were exhibitions in the USA, mainly Boston and South Carolina.

From the 1980’s John Sutton’s work was held exclusively at the Eaton Gallery in Duke Street, London, which has since closed on the death of the gallery owner.

John Sutton’s paintings are held in private collections worldwide, his work is also featured in the authoritative reference works, like Denys Brook Hart’s “20th Century British Marine Painting”.

Living in East Anglia where the wide skies and ever changing light create atmospheric effects on the landscape creeks and seashore.

Travelling has also been the catalyst to inspire subjects for painting. Visits to Venice, Egypt and India, have been featured, where the light, and a variety of buildings and people are dominant.

Impressionist maritime paintings focus on capturing transient effects of light, water and atmosphere using visible brushstrokes and a vibrant palette rather than hyper-realistic detail.

Traditional oil paintings are created using pigment suspended in a drying oil, such as linseed oil, applied onto a stretched woven canvas that is typically mounted within a carved wooden frame.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the canvas weave, craquelure in the paint layer, artist signatures, stretcher frame construction, and historical framing materials.

An antique oil painting can be integrated into contemporary spaces by hanging it against neutral walls to create a striking focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and keeping the canvas free from dust using a soft, dry brush.
