John Kingerlee is a wonderfully unconventional Irish painter of both abstract and figurative work. He is particularly known for his expressionist Grid Reference works and Rub-Back works. He has few, if any, parallels in contemporary art. He was born in Birmingham, received a Catholic education and lived for some twenty years in Cornwall. In 1992 he moved to an isolated farmhouse in the Beara Peninsula in West Cork, Ireland, from where he has lived and worked in virtual isolation. He is a convert to Islam and has a second family in Fez, Morocco.
The work the John Kingerlee produces, is unconventional, harmonious and worthy. He finds inspiration in the wilderness and beauty of their surroundings and sees his engagement with nature as a multi-sensory experience. His output is diverse and prolific, and he has produced stunning artwork in mixed media, drawings, collage and ceramics.
Kingerlee’s works have been exhibited extensively in numerous international locations including London, Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Texas, Beverly Hills, Florida, Beijing, Nashville, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New York. Kingerlee’s “Grid Composition” was sold at Sotheby’s, New York in 2006 for a record £82,591. Today his works are found in many international collections and galleries including the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork and the national gallery of Poland, the Ireland Fund and the collection of BP Ireland.

This brilliant and appealing self-portrait executed as a line drawing is stunning in its simplicity and character. It is at once sophisticated yet almost childish, even fantastical. It depicts a head and shoulders of a naked man, holding a single flower, perhaps a daisy in his left hand. He is gazing at the flower, and in the background the horizon is shown as a sketched line, and the sun as a large incomplete circle. His hair is wild and fuzzy, his ears pointed like a pixie and his chin is unshaven. The overall effect is naive, but quite magical.
