A new online gallery devoted to the work of John Squire is set to launch, documenting his art.
John Squire always had a healthy interest in visual art. Working for a time as a designer, the guitarist split his time between art and The Stone Roses. When the Manchester band released their debut album, his fame was assured.
Departing The Stone Roses in 1995, since then John Squire has devoted his time to working on his art. Last year the guitarist squashed re-union rumours with a specially designed sculpture, vowing not to tarnish the memory of the band.
A series of exhibitions last year helped John Squire establish himself as an artist in his own right. Far from the Jackson Pollock inspired designs of his youth, the new works are complex and move across disciplines.
With new exhibitions cropping up frequently, it can be difficult for fans to keep tabs on his career. Now a new website has been launched devoted to documenting John Squire's acclaimed artwork.
In a statement, designer Paul Stevens explained that he wished to bring John Squire's work to a wider audience. "I started this update in July after seeing John's latest pieces (from the Nefertiti series) which recaptured my interests in the artist. I really love a number of the pieces and congratulate John on his ever-evolving style."
The new website contains a number of piece by piece studies. Over 340 original artworks have been added, with additional commentary, information and images showcasing each piece.
Now a full time artist, John Squire's progress has seen him move out of the shadow of The Stone Roses. Now respected in a completely different world, the new site contains "individual piece studies for all John's new artworks 2007-2010 to further support John's move to a full-time, highly acclaimed artist."
