John Alexander Campbell
is an artist from Kingston, Jamaica. After high school, his artistic career com- menced when he worked for a newly formed t-shirt company, which specialised in airbrushed designs,called Iya Limited.
He then went on to work with a similar company called Yabba Air. Armed with this experience, he transitioned from popular to fine art.
His unique style has developed and evolved over two decades of work. He utilises no brush work nor water.
His vehicle of choice is 40% vodka which allows for a richer, more expressive col- our with varying degrees of movement and viscosity. John states that his works depict the varying aspects of life and all its passions: the good, the bad and the indifferent. All told from a very personal perspective.
For him, each piece is an exploration of the human condition and journey.
He attended the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in 1992, where he majored in Painting and minored in Printmaking. Among his formative experiences, John spent 18 months as the Artist in residence at the Avant-Garde Gallery in Portland, Jamaica, in 1996.
He has exhibited in both group and solo shows in Jamaica and abroad in Trinidad and Tobago, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
