JERROD PARTRIDGE
Claire Elizabeth Gallery is pleased to present - Outside In : New Work by Jerrod Partridge. The exhibition includes a collection of still life paintings and works on paper. An avid gardener, Partridge cultivates many of the botanicals that serve as the subjects for his compositions. The exhibition will be on view from May 1June 16, 2025 with an opening reception on Saturday, May 3rd from 4-7pm.
In the artist’s own words - With this body of work I strive for something simple, graceful, and elegant. I believe that there is still a place for beauty in art though that's rarely its sole purpose. I draw a lot of inspiration from Japanese aesthetics. In 2019, I had the great pleasure of exhibiting work in Tokyo, and like any international travel it was life-giving. It is my hope that this work provides opportunities for reflection and contemplation through the use of closely observed and sensitively painted cuttings from the garden.
Partridge is a Mississippi-based artist. He received an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2004. During his undergraduate years studying graphic design at Mississippi College, he also spent a semester in London studying art history. Partridge is a 2011-2012 recipient of a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Mississippi Arts Commission and was named distinguished Alumnus of the Year for the Mississippi College Department of Art in 2017.
Partridge has exhibited his work in Japan, Italy, and across the United States. He and his wife own and operate Palmette, a flower shop and art gallery located in downtown Ocean Springs, MS. He also leads Visual Explorations trips to Europe each summer and is the owner and co-creator of Art Space 86 which uses events to provide opportunities for artists and enrich communities through art.
