Biography
Born in Lancashire, England, 1957
The son of a doctor, he was educated at Jesuit schools where he first began to show his
artistic talent.
In 1978 during a visit to Amsterdam, he felt profoundly affected by seeing the works of
Vincent van Gogh. In 1980, following graduation from the University of Sheffield he went to Dublin;
thinking of attending medical school there, but soon gave up studying and moved to London to
frequent the museums and galleries and to study art.
In May 1981 he visited Paris and then travelled to the south of France remaining there for
three years and coming into contact with the sculptor César and the writer Anthony Burgess. During
this time he worked at Sothebys in Monte Carlo and became linked with the Forum Art Gallery and
attended the Arts Fair in Bologna. In Lucca he visited the artist Antonio Possenti.
1984 saw a move to southern Spain where he was to meet his great friend, the painter Eduardo
Maximov who had grown up in the home of his relative, the well known collector of modern art and
patron of Picasso and Matisse, Sergei Schukin.
Lennon’s work has evolved into what has been called "lyrical figuration", being a poetic
interpretation of the surrounding landscape
