9am to 5pm - (Saturday 7th October from 10am to 5pm)
An exhibition of work - old and new - from veteran Norfolk printmaker H.J. Jackson celebrating 70 years of linocutting
You are warmly invited to join us in the gallery to celebrate the opening of the exhibition and meet the artist.
The exhibition coincides with the launch of a new book, H.J. Jackson: drawn to print. Signed copies will be available to purchase at the opening.
Alongside Jackson's show will be new work from Dean Patman, David Bradford, Edward Smith, and special jewellery showcase from Kelvin Birk.
Born in King's Lynn, Norfolk in 1938, H.J.Jackson (John to his friends) cut his first lino block during his last year at school. The small print of a galleon in full sail helped earn him a place at Norwich Art School, linocutting under the tutelage of the wood engraver Geoffrey Wales. He obtained a National Diploma in Graphic Design, and subsequently worked full time in Marketing and Publicity for 34 years, printmaking during evenings and weekends. In 1995 he started printmaking full time and in 1996 he began showing at Bircham Gallery.
"I produced my first editioned print in 1958 inspired by the closure of my local railway. I was determined to try and record the scene. This work set the style of subject matter that I would later choose - the disappearing railway, old houses and streets about to make way for the developer, and what was to become my main inspiration, the declining fishing industry."
