A sense of place Bill Jacklin
I choose not to define myself by working in just one way. This exhibition of paintings and monotypes highlights my various interests in painting over the last few years. A few paintings refer back to earlier works that emphasize the structures that I have observed in natural orders and the depiction of light often as an emotive force. I have been spending time in Rhode Island by the sea with my family on and off for the last few years and this experience has connected me to a different sense of place. I now find myself painting quite different subject matter but not unlike the pulsating energy of my previous work. The nature of change continues and the daily experience is always in flux. In this show there is a collection of paintings called The Dance of the Clouds and Breezes which are all by the sea. The paintings are inhabited by dancers, various figures, storms, the sea and the passing and changing clouds. There is a great deal that actually goes on in this part of the world as well. In another vein, there is a large Venetian piece The Feast, presented as a triptych in three panels, showing a time sequence of a group of people celebrating and eating while the crowd behind passes through from left to right of the square as so often is the case in Venice. I will never forget an evening walking through Venice where each square was set with tables celebrating something festive. It was surreal. I have worked on this painting on and off since 2004 when I was in Venice working on prints. I am also continuing with my crowd series as I have painted The Singer in the Square within the swirling movement
of the figures in the square as I have spent time in the Piazza della Repubblica in Florence drawing the crowds in my sketchbook. This is a continuation from the Grand Central Station paintings of the Concourse and the concentric movement of the crowds. I saw many of the characters that I might have seen in Grand Central going about their business. I would also see this same crush or movement of figures in the flux and flow of the skaters in Central Park NY at an earlier time. There is a group of paintings of fields that run down to the sea. I chose to do several of the works at night as the stars alight the field. The paintings are complementary to the swirl of my previous work as the wind and clouds are constantly changing. I find it exhilarating. I am pleased with the outcome as my previous Road With Shadows was a precursor to this experience.
Grand Central Encounter I, 2018, oil on canvas, 78 x 72 in.
I have included a small painting titled The Celebration of the Animals that means just that. It is a contemplative work. As I have described, I spend time outside watching and drawing in my sketchbook. I do seem to be constantly painting about states of transition, from one state to another. The weather, bridges and squares are good metaphors so I am drawn to them. I feel I am painting about being present in the space whether I depict a figure or not as it is an all encompassing space. I have found nature a formidable subject knowing that we have always taken the beauty and balance for granted. This time I find I am looking at the natural world in total awe.

Making Monotypes Bill Jacklin
I started making monotypes in the late 1970s. I was playing with image making when it all became serious very quickly. Monotype allows me to be myself. The practice of making monotypes has given me a vehicle to develop ideas while simultaneously working on a painting. I move back and forth between the press and the canvas, adjusting both compositions at the same time. The works of art become finished abstractions in their own right. The Monotypes are often visual ideas running ahead of the paintings that lead me to push the boundaries in my work. The nature of monotypes is that I have to work quickly, there is a great deal of risk and a lot of throw away. Through the process I try to find an equivalent of the energy and light that I see in my subjects. Manhattan street scenes, ice skaters, figures playing on the beach, etc. I am always looking for the magic. Holding a visual memory in my mind, I flow with the process of making a monotype. It can be quite a volatile experience with the interaction of the oil medium and solvents having a life of their own. I use oil paint, printers ink, solvents carborundum for its general nature. The spattering came about to show the weather – it’s a resist process. I seek to create a visual language interpreting – in printed form – how I see the world.
It is all experiment.
