| Biography |
|
John Eaves trained at the Bath Academy of Art between 1949 and 1952,
where his teachers included William Scott and Peter Potworowski, both of
whom brought a refreshingly European perspective to their classes. John
went on to work as a Course Director for part-time courses in the visual
arts at Bath College of Higher Education between 1958 and 1985. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Germany, England and the United States, and his work is represented in eleven public collections including Bristol City Art Gallery and the Arts Council Collection. In 1966 John was awarded the Winston Churchill Trust Fellowship to travel and work in New Mexico. A Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship enabled him to research the German painter Emil Nolde and complete a thematic series of paintings in North Germany between 1986 and 1987. In 1994 he received a grant from South West Arts to tour Stonehenge and make drawings and associated performances. |
