This unique original expressionist oil painting is from a small collection of works painted while living in London. These characters appeared from nowhere and became a series of works painted in an expressionist and slightly surreal manner. These original oil paintings had themes of brotherhood and protection and were inspired by my own life. In these works I also hinted at my love for german expressionism and also a surreal and mannerist way of portraying the human figure.

This painting is new, in that it is an original unsold work of art, but being an original painting there is obviously no original packaging etc.

All my paintings are original works, are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity. My early works often had edges that were unpainted and the techniques I used left areas of the canvas open.

Please note that my early works were stored at my studio and some may have scuff marks here and there. I try to photograph obvious marks but please zoom in on the photos to get a closer look at the work. Also, please check the photo of the back of the painting as unless stated there may or may not be hanging chords or hooks attached. As always, please feel free to contact me with any queries - John.
