Pebble Head Portrait Commissions rolling in

No Comments on 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 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.

Pebble Head Portrait- artist-Jacqueline Hammond

Pebble Head Portrait by British artist Jacqueline Hammond

Artist Jacqueline Hammond with her submission for charity art auction Star on Canvas in aid of The Willow Foundation

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.”

The Rainbow Effect – Will it be Jet Washers at Dawn for the Brighton Rainbow Crossing?

2 Comments on The Rainbow Effect – Will it be Jet Washers at Dawn for the Brighton Rainbow Crossing?

The Rainbow Effect

You only have to check out the Brighton Rainbow Crossing Forever page on Facebook to see how the rainbow has enchanted visitors and local people of all ages and persuasions. I should know as an exhibiting resident artist at JAG Gallery from the view outside my painting studio, I’ve seen the rainbow working its magic. It’s made Madeira Drive come alive rather than being treated as a car park.

Though not officially a crossing, as a piece of public ‘street’ art it encourages pedestrians to stop, look and listen and motorists to slow down, creating a traffic calming effect and rather magical effect. The rainbow effect on both visitors and locals to the area is a joy to see.

This truly is a piece of public art at street level, the rainbow has enchanted locals from all walks of life, groups and persuasions seen posing, performing and most of all, smiling somewhere over the rainbow.

Perhaps it’s time to develop this area. From Charleston to Morris dancing, bikers and beatniks. The rainbow’s proved to be a hit symbol of solidarity that reaches beyond Pride. Brighton and Hove city council wont solve the crossword by washing away the rainbow; I think we can safely say those who’ve seen the rainbow effect this past week would like to keep making Brighton safer, as well as brighter.

Call me a hippy but whatever happened to rainbow warriors and CND symbol of peace? Other cities have grown to love this type of rainbow and realise its many benefits, while the creators have been granted permissions

The rainbow – due for eradication by Brighton & Hove council on [16th June at 5am] – stretches across Madeira Drive from the artist’s quarter. It was created by Heather Peace, Zeezee TwentyTwo, Cassette Lord, Inky Biscuits Ltd, Caia Matheson, Sonia Canals, Julieanne Gilburt, Jag Gallery resident and local artists.

After studying Art and Design at Brighton University, Sonia forged a career as a successful book illustrator winning several prestigious awards. Her illustrations are to be found in many magazines and publications. She has now exhibited in many locations including the Caribbean and spent several years on the tropical island of Tobago. This has influenced her love of bright colours and shapes, creating bold eye catching designs. Her new works ‘Soniaville’ are a collection of paintings based on the Brighton houses. these have become very popular, especially paintings of ‘your own house’ for a personal touch.

Louise Dear Painting

Louise Dear’s works are a seductive feast. Created with passion in vibrant colours using a multitude of media; gold’s, glitters and glosses on large panels of aluminium. Portraying gorgeous girls, nostalgic kitsch, flowers and frivolity, these neo-pop infused works will entice and seduce. Bijou beach hut studio; big beautiful paintings!

Janet Eynon Painting

Colour, form and impact lead to the creation of abstract images, influenced by travels in South America and Africa then sailing in the Caribbean. The transition between earth, water and sky, often so hard to identify. Years in cities with hard angles and refracted light then add another dimension.

Julieanne Gilburt Painting

Julieanne Gilburt is one of the UK’s most gifted and vibrant artists. She has exhibited as far afield as Dubai, Los Angeles and New York, Dublin, Copenhagen and London. Since graduating in 1982 Julieanne has worked as an independent illustrator and teacher. Julieanne is known principally for her seascapes and draws inspiration from the sea, city and local character of Brighton – as atmospheric as they are beautiful. Her portraits of Mike Tyson, Michael Watson and the angelic figure on the famous Fat Boy Slim greatest hits album are amongst her most recognisable works.

Jacqueline Hammond Painting

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, collections 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. Running 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 the mind’s eye to translate the vision. Jacqueline’s fresh way of depicting Brighton is popular with residents and visitors alike.

Emily Kenneally Textiles

Rewild Interiors is the creation of textile designer, Emily Kenneally, who designs and manufactures quirky printed homewares including cushions, aprons and tea towels. Emily spends her time watching David Attenborough documentaries and visiting natural history museums, her favorite being the Booth Museum in Brighton, which she says has the most incredible collection of insect specimens. Emily finds the subject of insects endlessly fascinating and her prints explore the beauty of their patterns and shapes. ‘Rewild Interiors’ is taken from the ecological term ‘rewilding’ meaning to return a habitat to a natural state through the introduction of wildlife. Emily looks to childhood memories and evoking that sense of intrigue we once had with the natural world (especially creepy crawleys) and her aim is to re-introduce these beautiful wild creatures back into your life. Working from a little beach hut at JAG Gallery on Brighton seafront, Emily brings her insect specimens back to life, injecting them with her own sense of style and imagination. Living at a time when wildlife is facing extinction on an unprecedented scale, at the core of Emily’s design ethos is sustainability. The Rewild Interiors collection celebrates the beauty of the natural world while trying to conserve it through responsible manufacturing, with all products being made in the UK, using organic cotton.
