John Joekes was born in London in 1950. He was a pupil of George Kennethson and studied at Camberwell School of Art. He uses traditional stone carving techniques in his sculptures all of which were learnt whilst working as a banker mason, then fixer mason and carver at Chichester Cathedral.

John has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in London, Bath and Bristol, amongst others, and has curated and organised shows, most notably in the 1985 Bath International Sculpture Competition. His recent work focuses on the abstract - shapes and contours which are tactile and solid, yet have a lightness and grace of form.

John Joekes has been exhibiting with Thackeray Gallery since 2005.
