JOHN LUCE LOCKETTBEHIND THE PAINTINGS
A lifetime of looking.
A world of stories.
“His intention is to weave his own narrative, both real and imagined, within the captured characters and landscapes.”
John Luce Lockett studied at The Byam Shaw, Kensington and The Northampton School of Art. Although he has worked in a variety of media, including watercolour, he has always considered himself to be an oil painter.
Having studied life drawing and human anatomy, John’s primary interest is painting people. He prefers to choose his own models, locations and compositions. His colourful career has led him to exhibit at The Royal Society of Portrait Painters and multiple London galleries, and to be internationally published in open and limited edition prints.

His first one-man gallery show in London’s Cork Street was followed shortly by the opening of his own Northampton gallery in 1983.
In 1995 John painted The White Collection for London Contemporary Art (LCA). These paintings were exhibited at The Roy Miles Gallery and The Albemarle Gallery, London, and at the New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo Expos by LCA. His piece ‘Heaven’ was subsequently published by Wyatt Russell.
In 1995 John gained national and international acclaim for his reconstruction portrait of Fletcher Christian, the Bounty mutineer. The portrait is featured in ‘Fragile Paradise’ by Glynn Christian.
In 1998 John worked as a medical illustrator for orthopaedic surgeon Mr Nigel Cobb. He also produced drawings for an international lecture tour on Mr Cobb’s surgical technique, ‘Tibialis Posterior Repair.’
In 1999 John completed ‘20th Century Romance,’ exhibited in Northampton and London. Four paintings were published as limited edition prints. In 2000, LCA commissioned ‘NightHawks,’ internationally exhibited by West End Galleries, Florida, and by LCA in New York and Los Angeles.
John has worked with the Bentley Publishing Group in California for many years, with open prints distributed worldwide through Leslie Levy Publishing. Signed limited edition prints are also available from LHG. He has also worked with Ecosse Fine Art Publishing, with limited edition giclée prints including ‘Champagne’ and ‘Vin Rosu’ from his Bohemians Collection.
John currently exhibits at select UK galleries. His nudes are regularly featured on the Barebrush Calendar, organised by artist and entrepreneur Ilene Skeen in Manhattan, New York.
