John Brandler has run his gallery since 1983 and has exhibited numerous artists long before they became household names — including David Hockney and Damien Hirst. When it comes to picking winners, he says it’s about “foresight, not hindsight.”
John enjoys handling original artwork created for books and magazines — something rarely seen today, as most are now generated digitally. The original illustrations for Thomas the Tank Engine, for example, have brought joy to millions of children. That’s art.
His advice? Always buy art that brings you pleasure. Imagine giving a child a piece of artwork they’ll treasure — what a gift.
For some, art is a luxury; for others, it’s as essential as breathing. Just picture a world of plain, empty walls — at home or in the office. How dull.
John particularly enjoys supplying artwork to charities to support their fundraising, and he also offers a personal advisory service to clients, including help with framing and display.
