Artist John Broad Prints

johnbroad2Artist John Broad was born in Essex, England where he attended the Southend School of Art before going on to study at Edinburgh College of Art, under William Gillies. From there he graduated with a Degree in Painting and Drawing and in 1989 he moved to the Cayman islands where he took up an Art teaching post at the Cayman Islands High School.

John has had many successful solo art shows in the Cayman Islands, one of which was “Pure Art” in 1991 at the Kennedy Gallery. In 1996 he exhibited at the National Gallery and followed up that success with another at the same venue in 1998. In 2005 his solo show “Renaissance”, was hosted at the Westin in November.

Aside from his solo exhibitions he has also participated in a number of group shows including the National Gallery’s “Watermarks” and “Emergence” exhibitions.

In 2003 he was commissioned by The National Gallery to paint “The Wall Of History”, a work on 500 glazed tiles in celebration of the history of the Cayman islands for the Quincentennial Year. John was presented to Prince Andrew at the Court House opening of the Wall in May of that year.

John was awarded the Cayman Islands National Cultural Foundation prize for Artistic Achievement in 2004.

His most recent specialization has been “speed painting” where he paints a scene on site. In 2004 he created a painting of a Dinner at the Westin celebrating their new Spanish style cuisine. The following year John’s speed painting of a hedge funds dinner for abused children at the Grand Old House raised CI$8,000 at auction. At Art at the Governors 2006 he was commissioned by Walkers, the sponsors of the event, to paint the colorful scene of the famous annual art festival held at the Governor’s House on Grand Cayman.

After an Exhibition at the Ritz Carlton in 2006 he was commissioned to paint a picture of the hotel to be presented to the owner, Michael Ryan.

John’s work is infused with colour, movement and passion for the human spirit, and can be found in collections in Cayman, the USA and Europe.

You can also find John online at the Yessy Art Gallery of John Broad and at Art Below – John Broad

Arteccentrix is now pleased to be working with John and we are now offering a selection of his work as high quality giclee prints on both canvas and paper.
