Artist Biography
John Foulger (1943-2007) was a renowned post-impressionist painter with a professional career spanning some 30 years. He began painting full time in the 60s, mainly in oils depicting the local countryside where he lived. His painting style became more fluid and free through the following decades.
Big heavy skies with clouds banked on top of each other was a trademark of Foulger, painted in the classic proportions. Foulger gave us a idea of where his admiration lay in the art world when naming his bungalow 'Corot' after Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, a pivotal figure in the Barbizon School of painters. Foulger also admired the English Post-Impressionist Edward Seago, with prints of his work on walls in his home.
Foulger was an exhibitor at the Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Society of Marine Artists, New English Art Club, National Society of Painters, Sculptors and Printmakers, and the United Society of Artists. He was also a member of the Federation of British Artists, and elected Associate of the Moseley Arts Society.
His paintings are now to be found in galleries and private collections in London, Vienna, The Hague, Montreal, California, New Orleans and elsewhere in Europe, America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. John sadly died in 2007, leaving all his worldly possessions to Oxfam.
