John Copnall

One of our collectors has uploaded a fabulous selection of paintings by British abstract artist John Copnall (1928–2007). These works were created across different periods of the artist's career from the mized media work 'Tangos de Malaga', which was created in the 1960s through to his 1970s striped works, right up to his 1980s abstract expressionist works which were produced on a grand scale often using bold, bright colours.
