Naive John b.1962 has trained in both fine art and art history. In 2004, after being awarded the Susan Cotton Travel Scholarship, he founded the Liverpool Stuckist group. Shortly thereafter he began to exhibit his paintings, achieving quick success with his inclusion in an exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. In 2007 he was invited to curate an exhibition at John Moores University Liverpool which culminated in his subsequent discovery by the influential collector David Roberts and the end of his relationship with the Stuckists. His work is collected internationally and is represented in several important collections including the Edwin Morgan Gift at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, and the David Roberts Art Collection, London.
