Working predominantly with oils and wax, he aims to create a world where turbulent colour and energetic form live simultaneously with calmness and balance, chaos and cohesion."My paintings portray a raw and tactile approach of scraping, scratching, layering, thinning, all the elements constantly fighting for space. I work in a very free fluid movement, creating impulsive symbols and gestural marks which are subliminally placed." - Jack FewHe charges the surface with paint that informs a world bursting at the seams, using the canvas as an arena in which to act and express experience rather than to simply reproduce a picture."My work, much like music, is a constantly evolving dialogue, trying to speak for itself and I'm trying to catch up. It’s a language I create but don’t necessarily understand. I love to play in that mystery" - Jack FewJack studied Fine Art and English Literature at the University of Chester and is now represented in a number of galleries across the country. Includes all materials, canvas, hot drinks, snacks, and tuition. Read more details
