About me:
john lee bird lives in London. He once lived in Ipswich (in Suffolk) where he went to school, played with his cousins and liked to buy rabbits to afford him some time with his father while making the hutches for them.
He studied art at Ipswich College, dropped out to work in a record shop and ended up as the Manager and stayed there 5 years before throwing his arms up in the air and returning to study art properly. He then had a little accident and forgot to eat anything, and was forced to work in a record shop again (after he’d gotten a little fatter) whilst he saved money to go to university the next year.
He studied fine art at London Guildhall University – paying his way with part-time jobs at theatres and nightclubs – before graduating in 2000.
Since then he has worked as a duty manager in theatres and as a primary school teacher and now he works as a full-time artist; freelancing for different companies and most importantly to him, working on his own art. John lee bird is 33 years old.
john lee bird has exhibited work in his hometown of Ipswich, in Cambridge, Bristol, Southampton, Plymouth, and at Kielder in Northumberland. He has also had various solo exhibitions in London including: his degree show in 2000 at Guildhall University, in Gloucester Road 2002, at the Truman Brewery 2004, at the Start Centre in Woolwich 2004, at the Phoenix 369 Gallery (Edinburgh) 2005, at the 20th Century Theatre in Notting Hill 2006, at the Ubox Gallery Nov 2007 & Feb 2008, The Stratford Old Town Hall 2008, at Simon Carter April 2008 and shows regularly at his studio in East Ham.
