Naive John is known as a Stuckist but I just think he paints rather good and interesting pictures. He says...

"I am a local artist, based in Toxteth, who constructed the persona of Naive John in 2004 shortly before founding the Liverpool Stuckist group. The character and pseudonym of Naive John enables me to abandon the normal concerns of the fine artist; notably being ‘relevant’, fashionable and cutting edge, and refers also to my self taught idiosyncratic painting methods. "

"Currently organising the first international symposium on Stuckism and a major exhibition of new Stuckist paintings for Liverpool's 2006 Biennial at John Moores University."

John also has his own website: www.naivejohn.com
