Welcome to John allinson ARTIST

John Allinson is a British artist, currently living in Devon, and having painted across the world for literally thousands of clients, from royalty to the humblest of clients since the 1960’s. 

His commissions range from portraits to seventy foot murals. 

In the 1980’s he was contracted to paint for the Queen at Hampton Court palace, following which, the national press and magazines allowed him sufficient coverage to attract clients from across the world and in particular the United States. John eventually settled in the states with his wife, grabbing the attention of major corporations and clients, ranging from steel companies such as Lenex, to department stores such as Bealls. 

He is lucky in that he can paint virtually anything, though calls himself primarily a figurative painter. 

His forte, however, is modern jazz, and he has painted jazz musicians since the 1960’s. 

John is known for his vibrant colours, and basically  a realist painter, achieving success in large and small venues. 

John Allinson is an artist who wears his mantle with relative ease, and has achieved success in several countries. He paints daily, and although having lost his leg through Diabetes, still attracts large scale commissions, employing  technique for use on bigger walls, where the client retains ownership and use of the original artwork.
