Jon Bennett draws inspiration from Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and the megalithic sites of western Britain

BIOGRAPHY

Jon Bennett was born in Birmingham, England, in 1964. He studied Technical Illustration at Bournville College and developed an early interest in the techniques, media and stylistic approach that characterises art and illustration based on fantasy themes. While Artist in Residence at Selly Oak Special School in the mid-1990s he began work on a personal portfolio based on the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. Work on this portfolio is still continuing and he has exhibited at the Oxenmoot, the annual gathering of the UK Tolkien Society.

Jon moved to Pembrokeshire in 2000 and began a visual record of cromlechs and other megalithic sites and their place in the landscape, with especial emphasis on North Pembrokeshire and the far west of Cornwall.

The landscapes and coastscapes of Pembrokeshire have also inspired musical compositions and the first of a series of audio CDs, Grass Grown Green, is now available.

Along with developing the body of work from which the images in this Gallery are taken, Jon has completed a number of private music, art and illustration commissions.

A NOTE ON THE IMAGES

The images featured on this web site are from mixed media originals - inks, gouache and watercolour on board. Originals and copyright will remain in the possession of the artist. Images offered for sale are Giclée reproductions on Somerset Velvet Watercolour Paper, in limited editions individually numbered and signed by the artist.

A NOTE ON IMAGE QUALITY

The digitised images on this web site are in low quality GIF format to prevent unauthorised copying and protect the interests of the artist and of subscribers to the limited editions. A further quality limitation arises from the nature of the original artworks. The original paintings, and especially those inspired by the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, are extremely detailed and suffer from the degree of size reduction necessary for publication on the world wide web. Larger images can be viewed by clicking on the thumbnails in the various galleries, but are by no means representative of the detail and quality of the finished reproductions.
