Born in Limerick in 1950, John Shinnors studied for a
short time at Limerick School of Art and Design under
Jack Donovan before leaving the confines of conventional
education to pursue his own vision of artistic creativity.
His paintings tend to combine the figurative and abstract
at once, with coloured or black and white geometric shapes
and repetition of form featuring strongly in his work.This
unique style and treatment of subject matter lend well to
Shinnors’ favoured motifs which include lighthouses,
scarecrows, clowns and indigenous wildlife such as cows,
crows and rabbits.
