John Bainbridge Copnall (1928–2007) was an English artist best known for his abstract expressionist painting of richly coloured stylised realism, often on a grand scale. He was also a teacher of painting for twenty years at the Central School of Art and Design in London. == Early life == John Copnall was born in Slinfold, a village near Horsham in West Sussex. His father was the eminent sculptor Edward Bainbridge Copnall (1903–1970) whilst his mother Muriel, his uncle and aunt Frank and Theresa Copnall were both enthusiastic amateur artists. Another uncle, Hubert Copnall (1918–1997), was also an artist and sculptor, although he spent over thirty years farming, having been initially so required as a World War II conscientious objector.〔Independent Obituary of John Copnall by David Buckman October 2007〕 His paternal grandfather EW Copnall was an early photographer and artist. Copnall showed early promise in drawing and his strong draughtsman skills would be at the heart of his work throughout his painting life. At the age of eighteen he began studies at the Architectural Association in London. This proved a poor choice of a career as Copnall lacked the required mathematical ability and used the excuse of his National Service to leave the profession permanently in order to become a professional artist 〔Guardian obituary by Simon Fenwick July 12th 2007〕
