About

I now work in painting and printmaking at a studio at the Chocolate Factory in North London. I am concerned with myth, an unstable form of expression that makes the viewer a participator, drawn into acts of interpretation. My artwork site is at: www.johntateart.co.uk Email: john@johntateart.co.uk
