John Bayne is a representational Oil and Acrylic Painter and his style combines realism and impressionism. He works in a traditional method with oils or acrylic on prepared linen. His paintings cover a wide range of subjects which reflect both his maritime background and interest in the Australian outback. Subjects include portraits, paintings of animals, Australian birds and animals, wildlife, the Australian outback, maritime scenes, ships, boats, floral displays and still life.
John studied with professional tutors in Melbourne and regional Victoria, and attended the Victorian Artist Society for a number of years. He combines his knowledge of photography with the artistic creation of painting, and utilises the digital camera and Photoshop as tools of production along with drawing. He works from his home studio in Albany Creek and has taught art classes and tutored at workshops.
John’s paintings can be found in private and corporate collections in Australia and overseas. Some of John's work is by commission and many of these are held worldwide.
Photography Bio
John Bayne commenced his interest in photography at school, as his father was a professional photographer and provided guidance. Initially his photography was focused on world travel through his working career as an officer in the British Navy. Family and career commitments delayed any development of new skills until later in life. He always retained his interest in photography, and has participated in amateur photography groups.
The advent of digital photography offered increased flexibility and he found a renewed interest in photography. He has taken an interest in new technology which enables portfolio options and expansion with features such as macro and underwater photography. As an amateur photographer, it is only in recent times that he has decided to show his work to the public in a structured manner. Photographic works have only recently been submitted for exhibition in the area.
