John Hainsworth

Working from his studio in East Sussex, John creates haunting landscape paintings lost in some not so distant future. 

Through his work, John plays with the idea of exploring and documenting the demise of a fictitious world. This demise comes in the form of presenting the viewer with a surreal and extreme narrative on the current global strain placed on finite resources. It is this strain that allows him to create work focused on the notion of our transition into a new human induced geological epoch called the Anthropocene. Through the medium of painting John creates a narrative that commentates and documents the increasingly complex control and use of resources. Imagery is focused on landscapes of ecological importance and scenes based on his personal experiences from growing up in and around the Teutoburger Wald in North-West Germany.
