I painted this tonight. Love was already sketched out, Hate was just sketchy.
‘I HEart U’ is an event taking place at JAG Gallery, 283a Madeira Drive, Brighton, on Sunday 5 February. I exhibit and have a second studio here. The featured artist, Ryan Brown, is another resident at the gallery, which is also an Open Studio where about 15 artists work and exhibit. This is my submission for the charity auction to raise money for The Argus Appeal. The Argus is Brighton’s local newspaper.
Contemporary British artist, Jacqueline Hammond, is renowned for producing strong, punchy images that are rich in texture and colour. A prolific painter and multidisciplinary artist, she exhibits widely and is commissioned by individual clients, collectors and high profile brands.
Jacqueline’s inspiration comes from direct observation: subject matter is plucked from the world encountered every day. Some ideas evolve, others are reactionary. Thought-provoking themes explore today’s society, the media and cultural theory.
Whether inspired by the street or the sea, Jacqueline’s work has an edge: her paintings are consistently striking. Her natural disposition is to let the paint dictate the creative process, trusting the medium and her mind’s eye to translate the vision.
