John Wiltshire

John Wiltshire is a figurative painter, an observer often working in series around subjects close to him. Recently relocated to East Kent, some of the initial work made in the region has been in response to this new landscape, seeking out some connection or some meaning in the atmosphere of the locality. Other work centres around objects and notes collected from these expeditions, this all accumulates into a sense of belonging and familiarity with the environment.

Wiltshire has been painting for around 40 years, first selling his work at the age of 9. He has shown widely since graduating from Kent Institute of Art & Design (now UCA) in 1992, including at the RA Summer Exhibition, the Royal Watercolour Society (twice first prize winner) and at The Collection and Usher Gallery, Lincoln.
