EFFREY P RATT was born in 1940. Parental disapproval prevented traditional art school training. However with part time training at St. Martins School of Art, and huge freelance effort, by 1986 he had begun exhibiting regularly in England and America. Jeffery began a full – time painting career only after his family had grown up and his business had passed over to his son Dominic.

Recent and prolonged painting trips to Europe, Africa, India and Tobago have provided an abundance of subject matter. His unquenchable passion for ‘en plein air’ painting gives full rein to free, bold brushwork and a quick vigorous build-up of layers of paint and colour.When painting with urgency direct from life, colour and form become abstracted and simplified. Jeffrey has an enormous zest for life and this excitement and energy are portrayed in his paintings. Each painting provides the challenge to capture fleeting light, early sun or coming rain, or simply the subject matter moving away! Jeffrey Pratt’s paintings are collected world-wide and have been exhibited in Singapore, Jamaica and the USA including one man shows in Memphis, Jackson and Florida. This is Jeffrey’s second solo show with Cricket Fine Art in London, the first having taken place in 2007 at our previous gallery in Langton Street.
