John Gamble
BA & MACP
Founding partner of Art School Ilkley
John Gamble works from his studio in Ilkley, drawing inspiration from classical iconography and the depiction of the figure within space. Each piece is created over a number of sessions, a slow burn, aiming to articulate feeling, leaving traces for others to gradually unpick.
