John Onslow
John Onslow studied geography and trained as a cartographer, which included working as a geological draughtsman in the Aberdeen oil sector in the late 1970s
and at the same time studied art at evening classes and later with the Open College of Art.
He showed with Burnside Gallery in 2021.
He says My work is inspired by the hills and dales near my home in the Scottish Borders and the places I visit near and far. As a geographer and an artist, I am fascinated by the interaction between topography, light and the human response to landscapes. I seek out less well-known places, away from the crowds and the distractions of modern life.
John adds, The weather plays a big part in my work, such as through the play of light on the hills or the dramatic fast changing cloud formations in the sky above.
