ABOUT ME...

English b.1997

Jack’s affinity towards art and making when he was a child flourished into a love for painting in his late teens, receiving a solid foundation art education at Westcliff Sixth Form, and then pursuing a self-taught approach from books, galleries, and ateliers with painters like Joshua LaRock.

Originally from bustling London, Jack quickly found his inspiration came from the individual, and the myriad stories that come from these people and their cultures.

In his teens, Jack strove for Traditional Realism, but quickly evolved his process to incorporate a more figurative approach, realising that this best translated the personality of the persons and places that became subjects of his work.

Since leaving college in 2016, Jack has become known to his collectors around the world through various exhibitions and his online presence, but also for his combining of music and art. Several of his works playfully portray his own musical influences in a divine reverence, with striking forms and a flare for colour.

In 2018, however, Jack became enamoured with the people and history of the American West, through correspondence with contemporary Western artists and a short trip to the United States in the winter of that year, and this has been a vein that Jack has pursued relentlessly, through art, music and the writing of a number of ethnographic essays on the subject.

In 2020, Jack painted the album cover for The White Buffalo’s ‘On The Widow’s Walk’, which expanded his audience and collectorship even farther.

In 2023, a drawing of Jack’s was included at the 101st Annual Exhibition of the Society Of Graphic Fine Art at the prestigious Mall Galleries, London.

In 2024, after three years of studying at the University Of The Arts London, his work ‘Speak Your Mind, But Ride A Fast Horse’ was sold at auction at the Taos Art Museum’s Summer Gala. 2025 will see his first ever solo exhibition, hosted by Texas’ very own Western Gallery.

Acclaimed contemporary painter, Fabian Perez, said of Jack’s work that it has “a recognisable style, dynamic, with great sense of colors. Full of rhythm and emotions.” His work has also been featured by publications included American Songwriter, Saddle Mountain Post and Whiskey Riff and has been acclaimed by a number of his peers and heroes.

Jack divides his time between art and music, with a busy touring schedule following the release of his debut record in 2023, ‘Red Eye Radio’. In 2025, he will be returning to perform in the US on two tours, as well as headlining tours around the UK and the Netherlands. His much-awaited sophomore record will release later this year.
