John Badcock, b.1954 in Queenstown, NZ. John hails from an artistic family and is primarily self-taught. As a young boy he would join his father, Douglas Badcock on various painting expeditions. Established now throughout New Zealand as a landscape and portraiture artist he has been painting professionally for over three decades.
After completing an apprenticeship in cabinet making in Invercargill from 1969-1973, John began his own business doing public and private commissions of furniture and wood carving up until 1986 when he opened his own gallery in Geraldine and began painting full-time. In 1992 he traveled to Europe and the U.K to further his artistic study and did so again in 2001.
John has had a wealth of solo and group exhibitions throughout New Zealand (with his first ever exhibition held at Fishers Fine Arts, Christchurch in 1985), recieved an extensive number of awards and been the subject of numerous reviews and published works including two films "John Badcock - A film by Brian High" and "A Changing Landscape A film by Cowboy Productions; Simon Pattison".
