About

John O' Carroll

John and I have worked together on several exhibitions together and I also collect his work.
John O'Carroll was born in Cornwall, and became a student at Cornwall College of Art. Among his influences at that time were Roy WALKER, Brian INGHAM and Tony O'MALLEY. Much of his adult life has been spent working and exhibiting in America, Mexico and the Netherlands.

He spent 23 years as an archaeological illustrator in the Dakhla Oasis in Egypt's Western Desert. The experience fed his imagination, affecting his spatial and visual awareness. Here he began collecting pigments from the desert in order to make his own paints, and developed his own version of an ancient art technique which combines layers of natural pigments with layers of wax and these are some of the works you can see in this apartment today.

In 2005 he returned to Cornwall but divides his time between the UK and Egypt, where he is a trustee on the Dakhleh Oasis Project. O'Carroll is currently resident artist at Circle Contemporary at Hawksfield on the A39 near Padstow and Wadebridge.

O'Carroll's work combines modern and natural materials, and makes reference to ancient lost worlds.

It is impeccably clean and very well kitted out with luxurious bedding, soft furnishings and everything you need. The perfect location being near both the beach and the town. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hasting is fantastic on its own but having a place to stay like Moray dibles the pleasure. Coffee in the morning on the balcony with that calm and overwhelming sea view is sumthing that stays in your memory for life. Smart one bedroom apartment with classic  but modern English style arrangement. Loved it. Highly recommend for a couple or couple with kids.
