Talking Pictures will be Jack’s fourth solo exhibition at Morningside Gallery, comprising over forty paintings which span his full range of subject matter, with many a story to tell.
The artist’s description of his own work as ‘a conversation on canvas between the past and the present’ leads perfectly into the title of this exhibition. Jack grew up ‘talking pictures’; his mother was a painter, his father an architect and painter, uncles and extended family all artists or involved in the arts. Art was an ever-present subject of conversation.
So it has continued for Jack, a lifetime of ‘talking paintings’ with other artists, past and present, in person and through their work. His own paintings add to this longer conversation and tell us what he has found most interesting in his conversations with Monet, Singer Sargent and others. Engaging directly with some of the choices these artists have made, Jack does something different with them, and finds something new to say.
Because Jack paints a number of different subjects, there is no one style that easily defines him. His paintings connect his vision and his valuing of the timeless quality of the subjects he is painting, with the goal of creating a feeling of ‘being there’.
Based at Church Hill in Morningside, the gallery will display over 40 new paintings for the exhibition, which can also be viewed online and toured as a virtual exhibition for anyone who can’t make it to Edinburgh.
The exhibition will run in the gallery from Saturday 26th October - 9th November, and is open to the public.
