Biography

John Boyd was born in Carlisle, England in 1957 and studied painting in the Slade School of Art 1976-8. He has resided in Ireland for the past 20 years and has exhibited internationally since the late 70s, most often in London, America and Ireland. He is now represented in numerous collections both public and private, in Ireland and abroad; including Christies London, Morgan Grenfell, De Beers, Glen Dimplex, and The Merrion Hotel.   A playful artist, Boyd likes toying with the viewer's expect
ations and is a keen observer of people. In his own words, 'Artists should keep their eyes open and their mouths shut'. His paintings combine enigmatic subjects and careful composition, in his own unique style, and offer intriguing insights into an alternative reality. Boyd is represented by The Cross Gallery in Dublin.
