John Joseph Bellman 1949 - Present
Irish artist John Joseph Bellman was born on the 14th February 1949 in South London. Of Anglo Irish parentage, his father was typical of his generation and worried about Ken’s artistic temperament which he viewed as effeminate. As a result Ken took up boxing and won a gold medal for South London in his teens.
The Royal Academy nominated him in 1976 as being one of the few promising young artists to emerge this century: His art continued to flourish with his trademark striking use of colour. His main medium is oils and he favours romantic subjects of Edwardian times.
