About artbyjaxx

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.

National Open Art Competition

The search continues for the best artistic talent of 2017

We’re searching for the best British and Irish contemporary art, photography and moving image of 2017. This year’s judging panel consists of Royal Academician Hughie O͛Donoghue, artist Jane McAdam Freud, former NOA winner Kelvin Okafor, gallery director Cynthia Corbett, photographer Zelda Cheatle and filmmakers Elaine Pyke and Adam Saward. All artwork is judged strictly anonymously on talent, not connections and results in an exhibition of 100% of the open entries – not one ‘invited’ artist. By entering your work, you’ll be in with a chance of winning part of a £60,000 prize fund and being showcased in prestigious exhibitions in London and beyond. Submit your work today, or read on for more information.

“NOA is a wonderful platform for artists, a truly open competition, offering the opportunity not only for artists to exhibit their work in first class venues but the chance of being recognised and the possibility of being selected for one of the many prizes. The competition itself gives a real ͚snapshot of current practice in the UK and Ireland.” – Hughie O͛Donoghue RA – 2017 Chair Judge

EXHIBITIONS

 

21st National Open Art Exhibition 17 – 26 November 2017 Announced

 

A vast, untouched four-storey industrial building will host the 21st National Open Art Exhibition. Bargehouse is an exciting atmospheric space on London’s fast moving South Bank and Bankside areas and sister building to the iconic landmark, Oxo Tower which stands proud on the cultural path between the National Theatre and Tate Modern. This big blank canvas will be transformed into a contemporary gallery space to showcase a cross-section of the very best British and Irish contemporary art of 2017. Enter the 21st National Open Art Competition here or read on to learn more…

A programme of events will be taking place during the exhibition with collaborations between NOA Vice President Gavin Turk and Deborah Turk’s House of Fairy Tales along with Be Smart About Art, Explore Learning and more to be announced. Sign up to be the first to know our lastest news here.

 

Royal Academician Hughie O’Donoghue, artist Jane McAdam Freud, former NOA winner Kelvin Okafor, gallery director Cynthia Corbett, influential photographer Zelda Cheatle and filmmakers Elaine Pyke and Adam Saward are to judge the 21st National Open Art Competition. Read more about our judges here.

 

Professional and amateur artists aged 15 and over can now submit work to the main 2017 competition. Each entry is judged anonymously, making the competition one of the most democratic in the UK and Ireland operating today.

 

This year’s finalists will be exhibited at the 21st National Open Art Exhibition at Bargehouse Oxo Tower Wharf on Southbank in London this Autumn where the prizewinners will be announced. The 500 long-listed entries from this year’s competition will be anonymously published after the first round of judging for the World Art Vote where the public can view the works and have their say by voting for their favorite on the NOA website.

Pebble Head Portrait Commissions rolling in

British artist Jacqueline Hammond’s novelty series The Pebble Heads progressed into numerous commissioned portraits where the subjects heads are ‘pebblised’ onto the canvas.

Commission a Pebble Head Portrait
Commission a Pebble Head Portrait of your family or friends – to give as a Christmas present.

Clients commission Pebble Head Portraits of their loved ones, family, or a group and often given as a very personal and unique gift. Recent pieces have situated the group against an equally bespoke background and have included all sorts of requests, from seagulls to lego.

Jacqueline visualises the piece based on both visual and written references to the subject’s interests, work, life and character traits, given by the client.

“It helps to build a picture of the family, the setting, the dialogue and the process often very revealing. Just down to how members of the portrait are described, lives summarised, character and behaviour analysed in a sentence. I may question the relevance of some such details, but its actually surprising what comes through in the final piece, as the people take on their pebble persona. Many of those little comments somehow end up being illustrated, giving the subjects a likeness and a sense of humour to the narrative of the scene. I spend far too long on painting these. But its very rewarding, and a painting must run its course. By the time its finished I feel like I’ve met them and they are often blown away by the result.”

Recently commissioned painting:

The farmer’s wife – Commissioned as a birthday present

Final piece – and the ‘outtakes’

More about the project by Tyne and Wear Museums – 

The BBC reported:

A project to give people a “fresh perspective on wartime life” has been given a funding boost.

The Home Front project by Tyne and Wear Museums will commemorate the centenary of World War I with a series of exhibitions and events.

Article in The Journal

Visitors to North East museums can explore the impact of the First World War on the region through a series of fascinating exhibitions and workshops.

Wor Life 1914-18, Tyne & Wear in the First World War, has been given a £205,000 cash injection from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

It comes as the region celebrates English Tourism Week and figures show visitors to Tyne and Wear Museums and Archives venues are on the up so far this year, with Newcastle’s Discovery Museum fetching an extra 15,000 and the city’s Great North Museum also up by 20,000.

Wor Life 1914-18 will delve into the period’s impact as the region marks the war’s centenary, with a series of art and history exhibitions, community projects, local history displays, commemoration events and a mobile phone app.

Coun Ged Bell, chairman of Tyne and Wear Archives & Museums Joint Committee, said: “When people think about WWI they tend to think about the horror of the battlefields but the impact of the war was far-reaching and changed the lives of those back home as well.

“Thanks to this generous funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund we will be telling the stories of people living in Tyne and Wear during WWI and the amazing contribution they made to the war effort. This promises to be an extraordinary programme of exhibitions, events and activities and we hope as many people as possible come along and find out about their region’s role in the Great War.”

Coun John Kelly, Sunderland City Council’s portfolio holder for public health, wellness and culture added: “Sunderland, along with the rest of the North East can be proud of the contribution it made to the wider war-effort during the First World War.

“As time passes it becomes ever-more difficult to imagine the reality of day to day life a century ago. With this in mind, this programme will help young and old appreciate the conditions at home and work during the dark days of war.”

Ivor Crowther, of Heritage Lottery, said: “The many-layered Wor Life 1914-18 project will enable the people of Tyne and Wear to explore the continuing legacy of this conflict and help local young people in particular to broaden their understanding of how it has shaped our modern world.”

A programme of seven exhibitions will look at subjects including the changing role of women during
the war, the region’s industrial input into the war effort and the psychological trauma suffered by returning soldiers. The first exhibition, Paintings of World War I, will open at the Laing Art Gallery on May 10.

Exhibitions will also be on show at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery, Segedunum Roman Fort in Wallsend, Discovery Museum and Tyne &
Wear Archives in Newcastle, Newcastle University’s Hatton Gallery and Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens.

Life’s a Beach deckchair and Seaside Lampshade in the entrance to Contemporary Home and Gifts – Hall 7 at Spring Fair International 2014

SmartDeco exhibited at Spring Fair International 2014 in Birmingham, where all kinds of retailers – department store chains, boutiques, gift shops, distributors and agents from all around the UK and the world come to meet suppliers and manufacturers.

SmartDeco’s Life’s a Beach’ Deckchair and Seaside Lampshade by British designer Jacqueline Hammond, were chosen for the Product Showcase in the entrance to Hall 7 (Contemporary Home and Gifts) at Spring Fair International 2014.

Spring Fair is “the largest trade exhibition in the UK and Europe’s biggest presentation of trend driven new products” so  it was fantastic to have my designs featured in such a prominent position, great to know that every visitor coming into Hall 6 and 7 would have seen the deckchair. Although I’m not sure it was so easy to find the Smart Deco stand at Spring Fair! It is a vast show and we were tucked away rather than on a corner like last year, so if you were at Spring Fair and were looking for that beach deckchair you saw on the way in we were here on Stand 6R43!
