has abstract	John David Yeadon (born 1948) is a British artist, and art educator. A practicing artist for over 50 years, he explored issues of politics, sexuality, food, national identity, the grotesque and carnival. In the 1980s his work was provocative with issues relating to male sexuality. An eclectic artist essentially a painter and printmaker, his work has included text, digital images, photography, and he has worked on banner making, theatre design and has collaborated with video artists. Yeadon's grandmother was the ventriloquist Annie Howarth, who worked under the stage name Josephine Langley. Recurring themes in his paintings since 2010 include his mother and grandmother’s ventriloquist dummies Yeadon's 1984 exhibition Dirty Tricks at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry, was at the high point of AIDS paranoia and gay ‘blame’, Yeadon’s forthright, radical, critical, ‘in your face’ paintings challenged preconceptions on sexuality and society. These paradoxes disturbed and offended some Tory councillors. The Coventry Evening Telegraph declared that it was 'Smut Not Art' in a homophobic editorial rant. However the exhibition increased the attendance at the Herbert by 40%. Works from this exhibition were later that year exhibited at the Pentonville Gallery in London and the British Art Show of 1985. The Arts Council of Britain also bought a version of ‘The Last Chilean Supper’ one of the ‘lavatory wall smut’ paintings so derided in the Coventry Evening Telegraph. With over 30 one person shows he has exhibited throughout Britain and abroad, including in Portugal and Germany, and his one person shows in Britain including the Royal Festival Hall, Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow and Ikon, Birmingham. His group shows included the British Art Show (1985/6) and exhibitions in Germany, Holland, Portugal and Hong Kong. He set up the Coventry-Dresden Arts Exchange in 2012. (en)
