John Devonport

Artistic background

I am a former Engineer who worked on the construction of Nuclear Submarines for BAE. I am now a full time artist and my speciality is doing stunning portraits infused with a liquid art background. I believe this process is rather unique. Also vivid abstract paintings entwined with fluid art. My large abstracts are a real statement piece on any wall in a home or business premises.

I have created portraits for such celebrities such as the late Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Martha Reeves, Pattie Boyde, and the Blondie drummer Clem Burke who is now a good friend of mine. I have a portrait I did of the football legend Dixie Dean hanging in Everton FC headquarters at the Royal Liver Buildings in Liverpool waterfront.

I have also participated in Landscape Artist of the Year as a Wildcard on television. I am also a Supporting Artist for films and television productions such as Peaky Blinders, and worked alongside such great actors such as Jeremy Irons, Julian Moore, Keira Knightley and Cillian Murphy.

I recently had my own exhibition in Chester and it was attended by television celebrities such as Ricky Tomlinson, the famous Rue Paul Drag Artist winner The Vivienne, whose Portrait by myself was on display, and various Everton FC past footballers. The exhibition was a great success.
