The passion John Palliser brings to his work is clearly visible in every piece he creates. Born in the South of England, John first made his mark by painting 3D murals in homes, hotels, restaurants, and corporate buildings. Later, he expanded his focus to paintings of the various canal-ways throughout the Midlands. Early in his career, he specialized with great success in evocative seascapes and views of Norfolk. Much of John’s work explores the sacrifices of war—its glory, folly, and profound impact. He portrays the enduring spirit of loyalty and the willingness to fight to protect one’s values, a spirit that remains with a serviceman until death. John fervently believes that the greatest human values are most effectively passed down through family and tradition. These themes resonate palpably throughout his art. Each visit to his paintings reveals new stories and hidden messages. John has exhibited his work in Europe and Cyprus. Upon returning to England, his first major UK exhibition his controversial, award-winning piece “DEVORCE”was shown in the late 1980s at the Gordon Craig Gallery in Stevenage. The exhibition attracted widespread media attention, particularly when John publicly burned the canvases afterward. Growing up surrounded by art, John dedicated his artistic life to his late father, H. H. Palliser, an accomplished Norfolk artist whose style greatly influenced John’s own. Over his lifetime, John has developed a unique style that blends contemporary simplicity with traditional artistic aesthetics, creating a signature approach that sets his work apart. Art has always been an integral part of John Palliser’s life, and the passion he infuses into his creations continues to shine through every piece.John’s art celebrates core British values such as decency, honesty, courage, and determination. He uses his paintings as a medium to express his views on a wide range of issues, seeing art as his “voice” to push back against what he perceives as attempts to rewrite British history and the erosion of freedom of speech by a minority culture intent on taking offense. He notes that those who speak out against this are often labeled extremists. John began painting professionally in the 1980s. He served nine years in the British Army as a Royal Engineer and Royal Military Police non-commissioned officer, during which he continued to create art whenever possible. Notably, he had a cartoon strip, “Capt. Dekhlia,” in the BFPS Cyprus in 1980. His military service took him to Germany during the Cold War and to active duty in Northern Ireland’s Troubles, where he engaged with official war artists and soon began capturing his own experiences in paint. Over the years, John perfected a style that blends classical and modern elements, with his works displayed in homes and military messes worldwide. In the late 1980s, he painted murals in the Midlands for restaurants, homes, and businesses.
