Each unique piece depicts the coastal beach and seascapes with alternative skies shaped by the wind. No two pieces are the same.

Inspired by the sea, moors and woods,  John’s work is full of drama and emotion, the observer can experience a feeling of peace, remoteness and sense of place. Painting mostly on location,  John divides his time between his home in Bolsover, Derbyshire and Cornwall and the Scilly Isles.  He likes to incorporate local materials like sand and dried grass to connect his paintings directly to the landscape depicted.  John is also a professional actor and playwright.  We love his vivid, energetic painting’s,  we know you will too.

His bronze sculptures are in high demand both nationally and internationally.  We at Duffield gallery feel very privileged to be 1 of only 4 galleries  in the UK to have Eddie’s  work permanently on display. Each bronze sculpture can take up to six weeks to sculpt, then it is moulded and cast in bronze, using the centuries old technique of “lost wax” casting each bronze is then “patinised” by Eddie to give its individual colour and finish. A patina can never be repeated, so even though the bronzes come in limited edition numbers, every single sculpture is unique.

        • DiegoI  was first introduced to Diego on the sunny island of Ibiza, he is a shy “banksy” type of character,  but  I  was  immediately drawn to the bold bright energetic vibrancy of his paintings. His work is in private collections all over the island. We persuaded him to spend some time with us in the UK last summer and he was immediately entranced by the local Derbyshire countryside. He wishes to remain private and elusive,  he signs his work simply “Diego”,  always in red.
