About John Bolam

  • Biography

    John Bolam originally studied painting and furniture design at High Wycombe School of Art. He subsequently became a member of the Great Bardfield group of artists in Essex, where many of the members settled. His friends and colleagues from that time included Michael Rothenstein, Edward Bawden, John Aldridge, and Edward Middleditch.

    From 1970 to 1983 Bolam was Head of the School of Art at Cambridge College of Arts and Technology. His work shows the influences of the neo-Romantics, most notably John Piper and Graham Sutherland, but his imagery is all his own.
