Johnny Carroll-Pell
Johnny is a prolific artist whose work is both figurative and abstract. There is a beautiful synergism between the dynamic movement of his work and the way he moves around the studio clearly enjoying his work.
Often inspired by nature and people, Johnny regularly creates large scale paintings of scenic landscapes and life-size and larger-than-life figures of animals and people.
Johnny makes smaller drawings of instinctively interconnected shapes and patterns using charcoal, ink and paint pens. His use of vibrant colour is confident, considered and joyful.
Johnny started painting around the age of 10 and creates some kind of art most days at home. He has recently moved onto making sculptures in clay and wood and using found objects. He likes to listen to music when he’s creating and will often dance at the same time! He also paints large scale paintings and small scale ink drawings at home.
