John Hubbard was an American-born abstract impressionist painter who lived and worked in England for more than 50 years. He won the Jerwood Painting Prize in 1996.
1980s: A growing interest in rock forms, including quarries, led Hubbard to find subjects on Dartmoor, Devon, or on the Cornish coast. This involved a greater use of drawing as a means of ascertaining the essentials of a particular subject. There were also extended drawing sessions in Kew Gardens, London, the artist's own garden and the sub-tropical gardens at Abbotsbury, Dorset. This in turn led to visits to Tresco, Scilly Isles, resulting in drawings and paintings of a strange lushness.
