John Bainbridge Copnall was a 20th century abstract expressionist who took an undivided approach to form and colour: "Painting is colour and colour is painting".
born in Slinfold, Sussex, son of sculptor Edward Bainbridge Copnall, in February. He studied at the Architectural Association from 1946, before serving his National Service in the Army. By the time he left the army after two years in postwar Egypt, John had decided to turn against his father's wishes for him to be an architect and to become a professional artist. He briefly studied painting with his father at the Sir John Cass College, London, before enrolling at the Royal Academy in 1949 under the tutorage of Henry Rushbury.
Copnall's early work was very much in the figurative style of the day, but towards the end of his time at the RA he began to become aware of the exciting developments happening within the American art scene. This coincided with a trip Copnall made to Spain with fellow student Bert Flugelman soon after graduation, spent hitchhiking to Barcelona. The plan was to stay for a month, but the Spanish landscape had such a profound effect on Copnall that he ended up staying until 1968.
After the failure of his first marriage, to Madeleine Chardon, with whom he had lived on Ibiza, and Flugelman's return to London, Copnall moved to mainland Spain and, long before the years of tourist development, bought a rundown farmhouse in the mountains above Malaga, the tiny village of Benalmadena, Andalucia. Here, inspired by his interest in Abstract Expressionism and the dramatic Spanish landscape, he began a series of powerful abstract paintings.
Copnall returned to London in 1968 and taught for many years at the Central School of Art and Design and was a visiting lecturer at Canterbury College of Art. During this time he continued to exhibit widely, with a selected list of exhibitions below. Widely appreciated by many fellow artists, Copnall won the EA Abbey scholarship in 1970 and awards from the Arts Council and the British Council. In 1988 he was elected to the London Group. Copnall's first solo exhibition was at the Piccadilly Gallery in 1955, but this was followed by many more in Britain as well as in Germany - Cologne, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Munich - Spain and Finland.
In 1982 Copnall was one of a group of artists who bought the Spratts Dog Food warehouse off the Bow Road, in the East End of London, and converted it into studios. After the end of his second marriage, to Caroline Murray Brown, he lived there permanently.
