you may not have heard of Jack Coulthard
He is a British artist of consummate talent
who has spent the last 50 years creating and perfecting
his unique an extensive collection of paintings
Jack is a storyteller making a conscious narrative statement in each of his
paintings
however his work cannot be defined all labeled in terms of contemporary art
movements
he sits outside of these, rather, he is defined
by what he is not.
Jack is not a pre raphaelite although his paintings are deeply researched
and have a meaningful narrative as in English pre-Raphaelite
artwork Jack is not a surrealist
although Andre Breton's surrealist manifesto 1924
deeply influenced his philosophical, political
an imaginative sensibilities. Jack is not a postmodernist
in his words "his work is not a spiteful reaction to the detritus
of postmodernism, is not a re-appropriation
but his paintings are return to find what is going to be new"
He is a creator of worlds and possibilities.
