John Bourne (born 1943) is a British artist and painter, living and working in Wales, and a member of the Stuckists art movement.[1] He founded the Wrexham Stuckists group in 2001[2] and has been exhibited in the group's shows since then, including The Stuckists Punk Victorian.[3] He has also taken part in Stuckist demonstrations against the Turner Prize.[4] The subject matter for his paintings, which are done in a simplified style, comes from his memories.[5]
