Sit and Throw painting by Jacqueline Hammond

Painting ‘Sit and Throw’ by Jacqueline Hammond featured on Saatchi Online’s Homepage

This week, Saatchi curator Rebecca Wilson has chosen my work to be featured in ‘The Life Aquatic’ a collection of works inspired by water

Sit and Throw – Jacqueline Hammond (100 x 100cm, acrylics on canvas)

Sit and Throw painting by Jacqueline Hammond

This piece is part of The Groyne Series, studies of youth hanging out on the seafront. Have a look at the other works in the series on my website – www.jacquelinehammond.co.uk

The Groyne Series came about from observing the shapes of teenagers and kids playing and jumping into the sea from the sea groynes along the shoreline of the beach in Brighton. These paintings seem to evoke memories of the height of summer for many people and the location could be anywhere in the world.

Tollhouse Gallery – Design a Deckchair Compeitition **WINNER**

Clevedon Pier volunteers ran a nationwide Deckchair Design Competition in the spring. Over 180 designs were submitted by members of the public and by a clutch of celebrities who love Clevedon Pier themselves. Artists from around the UK took part with the winners coming from East Sussex, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Clevedon, Weston-super-Mare and North Somerset towns and villages.The winners’ chairs are now being exhibited at the Tollhouse Gallery Clevedon Pier in North Somerset. Six designs by well known TV presenters Gyles Brandreth (BBC’s One Show) and Alice Roberts (BBC’s Coast and Time watch), plus a special design by creator of Wallace and Gromit Nick Park are for auction for the Clevedon Pier Charity. Deckchairs designed by rock band The Stranglers and folk band The Wurzels also feature in the auction. Tiny deckchair replicas of all these designs can be purchased to order via the websitewww.clevedonpier.com.

The standard of artworks submitted was very high and the five judges had a real challenge to select the winners. The winning design from a local resident was produced by Jacqueline Hammond who is as an ‘up and coming’ artist based in Brighton. She has been working on a range of deckchair designs launched earlier this year, so the competition was perfect timing and an ideal opportunity for her to show her designs to a new audience. It was actually a couple Jacqueline met at the launch, who are big fans of Clevedon, that suggested she should enter.Jacqueline says ” With my design, you can sit on the beach from the comfort of your own home!”

The winning deckchair designs are on display in the Tollhouse Gallery on Clevedon Pier The Beach, Clevedon BS21 7QA from Friday 26th July till August 20th. Entry to the gallery is free and it is open from 10 to 5pm every weekday and 10 to 6 at weekends. We are also holding two late night openings on Friday 26th and August 16th. See the Deckchair Exhibition on Facebook “Since opening the show the gallery stewards have tried to capture the total visitor numbers, although at times the gallery has been so busy we have lost track! Needless to say with the recent sunny weather we have had several hundred people in the gallery who have admired your design since we opened a week ago. “Jonquil Brooks – Pier volunteer

My deckchair has been out and about since we exhibited it at a trade show earlier in the year.It’s proved a hit with visitors to Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower.

Jenny Merrison, duty manager at Spinnaker Tower, commented:“The deckchair has become a great talking point for our shop visitors and really brightens up the window! Jacqueline is a very talented artist and we’re delighted to have a piece of her art on display.”

Smartdeco bring the beach to Birmingham and art off the wall at Spring Fair International

No Comments on Smartdeco bring the beach to Birmingham and art off the wall at Spring Fair International

Earlier this month I exhibited at a well known trade show, Spring Fair International 2013 at Birmingham’s NEC. It took a lot of hard work to get to this stage, upon arrival to set up I was absolutely shattered, and yet slung on my paint splattered lab coat, quite enjoying the irony that the Smartdeco stand (6Q42) was located in the Design Lab – a new product showcase right next to the ‘Trend Bar’ in Hall 6 – Contemporary Gifts and Home. We were the last to leave the NEC(k) (as the French exhibiting contingent refer to our ‘Palais de exhibicion’. The reason being that I had decided I would paint a sunset beach scene on the actual stand, as the beach scene on the banner I’d ordered looked more like monsoon than summer season, it was so dark! Despite being given permission to work late we were still faffing over sand bags, yes sand bags, not handbags, bags filled with bags of sand, way after the curfew and had been given our final ‘warning’ by the Goodie Green Jacket on night shift. We left the ‘few props short of a final scene’ stand on his command. Given another ten minutes we’d have been ‘voila!’

From Sunday kick off they streamed in to ‘The Neck’by the bus load and the I was exhilarated by the flood of gusto people had for the products I’d finally brought to market. It was fantastically full on, as busy as Brighton pier the amount of daytrippers we had, stopping to admire the view. The response to my work was fantastic and it was a pleasure to talk to lots of people after months sat at a computer screen! We received a great deal of interest in the Smartdeco range from visitors to the show and the Life’s a Beach Deckchair proved to be a real showstopper! We even brought some Brighton rock, buckets and spades an’ all! Hot!
