Aitkens love of music, opera and theatre inspire his creative practice and his fluid mark making has a lyricism and musicality which embodies his passions. Using watercolour, pastel and paint pen, Aitken combines a light mark making touch with his luminescent use of colour to create his poetic works.
John accesses the Garvald artists supported studio to make his work.
