John Allcock is a contemporary artist based in the UK, known for two contrasting types of work—his dynamic landscape paintings, and images with a symbolic and poetic character. Allcock’s landscapes are characterized by a strong sense of form and expressive mark-making, capturing the essence of the British countryside. His paintings of rugged crags and woodland blend realism with a touch of abstraction. He aims to convey the atmosphere and mood of a place, evoking both tranquillity and energy, inviting viewers to connect emotionally with the natural world.

Allcock’s artistic alter ego creates vivid, condensed symbolic images, often exploring spiritual themes and an “inner landscape”, frequently in response to poetry.
