Seacourt is delighted to present an exhibition of works in painting and print by Craig Jefferson.
Craig Jefferson is a Scottish born artist now living in Bangor, Northern Ireland with his wife and three children. He began his creative career at Leith School of Art, Edinburgh, in 2002 and continued his studies at Edinburgh College of Art where he graduated with an Honours degree in Drawing and Painting.
Craig is currently represented by the Stafford Gallery in London and the Contemporary Six Gallery in Manchester. As a member of the New English Art Club, he exhibits annually at the Mall Galleries and with associated galleries across the UK. He has taken part in several Academy group shows in the UK and Ireland and had work included in prestigious prize exhibitions such as the Columbia Threadneedle Prize and the Lynn-Painter Stainers Prize. His work features in private collections in Europe and the United States.
Craig was one of our first Studio Members at Seacourt, where he has a space overlooking Central Avenue on the second floor. Since being here he has immersed himself in printmaking focusing on screen printing, mono print and tetra pak collagraphs.
This exhibition will be the first time Craig has shown prints alongside his paintings. The cross pollination of these processes has brought a freshness to the artist’s approach and application as he comments.
“Engagement in printmaking has had a huge effect on how I paint. It’s a whole new way of thinking. A new realm of ideas and possibilities has been opened to me.”
Please join us for opening night from 6pm on Thursday 31st July. Sign up to our newsletter here for details of artist talks, workshops and tours throughout August. The exhibition runs until Friday 19th September.
