The Seafaring Narratives of John Neville

John Neville’s engaging narratives of fishermen with their dories loaded with pollock have engaged collectors throughout his long career—first with his exceptional intaglio etchings, and then the bold palette and modern compositions of his impressive oil paintings.

A native of Nova Scotia, Neville was born in Halls Harbour, on the Bay of Fundy, to a family of boat builders and fishermen where hard work was taken for granted. He grew up fishing with his father, building boats, and listening to the tales of men and women in the local villages. There were stories about bootlegging, bad luck, record catches, rivalries, and drunken husbands—all of which became the basis for his rich pictorial language.
