John Bampfield British artist (b.1947) Kidderminster, England As a prolific British artist, John Bampfield has enjoyed a lifelong variety of noticeable styles from detailed country scenes to his memorable impressionistic battlefields. Bampfield was born 1947 in Kidderminster to mixed Scottish and English parents. In 1966 he moved to London and later made the leap to Cornwall in 1968 to join the burgeoning artists' community where he was attracted by the brilliant natural light of Penzance and St.Ives. Fascinated by the fortitude and perpetually crashing surf, Bampfield found great inspiration in his powerful surroundings. In the company of the nationally recognised artists Edward Dyer and Ben Maile, Bampfield’s styles developed and soon after he supported himself upon the West Country sales of his oil paintings. Bampfield himself comments upon his artistic life, "I have worked very hard for the last twenty years to the exclusion of most other pleasures in life. That's my life there, every picture is extremely satisfying to finish and even harder to part with…there is a part of myself which I sincerely put into all of my work." The Colomb Art Gallery currently has three John Bampfield signed original oil paintings available from Private Sellers.
