John Birch Paintings​

During this period I was living and working in central Bristol and the large 2 metre canvases I was working on reflected the urban environment. I happened to see a lot of Scientific American magazines at that time. These contained many strong, strange and memorable images which I used for the Grid series of paintings, made  in 1972-74.

Following on from these paintings was the City series from 1974-76. These were all based on photographs taken by me of situations that I had set up using friends and locations in Bristol.
