Biography
Hi My name is Derek Gordon. I represent the artist W.John Thorpe. As a personal friend of mine for many years While helping him clean out his attic early last year I came across 3 scraperboard images. When I enquired of John who had produced them he proudly admitted that he had done them. Not believeing anyone with that type of talent could have kept that from me for all these years, I scoffed and challenged him to produce a new one. The result is the image of Nelson Mandela (Madiba) shown here. It is in my opinion the best image of the great man that I have seen in any medium. Still not believing him and thinking that he had a one armed mute chained up in his cellar I gave him a photograph of a lion and asked him to start it in my presence. After some twenty minutes of etching I was forced to appologise and became an instant fan. I just cannot understand how anyone with his talent has not produced any new work for 21 years. Needless to say I am keeping him very busy building up his profile and portfolio. John is British born but has lived in Cape Town South Africa for the past 22 years. Watch this space for his new works.
