John Renshaw retrospective exhibition | Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery | Sat 5 April (exhibition start date) | 10am-5pm
An art exhibition showing the works of John Renshaw is coming to Stockport Art Gallery from 5 April to 18 May 2025.
Renshaw's work is characterised by intricate detail, and its powerful emotiveness. His paintings have previously been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Painters, and a host of other prestigious galleries.
Stockport Council said it is 'proud' to host the retrospective exhibition.
Sadly, John now has Alzheimer's, and so the works are being presented by the Renshaw family.
"He remembers very little but his passion for art, painting, drawing, and literature is one thing he has not forgotten", John's daughter Anna said.
Born in Macclesfield in 1946, Renshaw's artistic journey started in Stockport when he studied art at Stockport College.
