John Heaven

John Heaven is a multidisciplinary artist recognized for his evocative exploration of memory, identity, and urban landscapes. Born in 1987 in Manchester, England, Heaven developed a sharp visual language blending photography, painting, and installation art, often interrogating the intersections between personal experience and collective history. After graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 2010, he immersed himself in community art projects before exhibiting in solo and group shows across Europe and North America.

His work, marked by subtle juxtapositions of light, texture, and everyday objects, has garnered critical acclaim for its ability to evoke nostalgia and a quiet sense of wonder. Residence periods in Berlin and Lisbon further influenced Heaven’s style, introducing elements of digital media and interactive installations into his practice. Currently based in London, John Heaven continues to challenge the boundaries of contemporary art, engaging audiences with pieces that invite vulnerability, introspection, and connection.
