LINDSAY JOHNBIO
Lindsay John, originally form St. Lucia in the Caribbean, came to Britain in 1969 to study both Fine Art Painting and Sculpture over a period of ten years before moving to Scotland in 1980. There he began a self study in experimental dance combining aspects of sculpture costume and site specific instillation into unique performance works taking him as far as Japan to study Butoh, from which he derived courage and direction.
Works include the thematic solo performances ‘Before Form’ presented in Britain, Japan, Singapore, Spain and Italy among other National and International choreographic and costume collaborations. He also worked as Lecturer in Art & Design at Ayr College, Scotland (1998-2006) before finally retiring from predominantly Performance based art works in 2009 to return to Fine Art.
Lindsay is presently practicing as an Artist in both 3D Sculpture and Mixed Media at WASPS Artists Studios, Glasgow where he is now settled.
