Jay Fortune was destined to become an artist. His first artistic efforts were unappreciated and seen as an act of graffiti at the young age of three when he began doodling on the staircase wall with a biro. Not content with his first efforts, he shifted down to the next stair and continued. At stair five he was rumbled by his mother. This early wall art eclipsed Banksy by some 30 years. Jay says he may have been the inspiration for Banksy, but this is widely refuted. It’s also not true. At school Jay was awarded his first solo exhibition featuring portraits of historical figures. He also won a national school’s competition to illustrate a poster to save the rainforests. Selected as the national winner, Jay’s poster was reproduced and printed in several acres of forest which had been selected for protection for the campaign. Jay is still chasing legal rights to own the acreage. College and university beckoned and Jay graduated with a BA Hons in Art. For the purists who may wish to write his biography, it’s actually an HND equivalent to BA Hons. A period of retirement from art followed as Jay pursued his other love of magic. This led to a successful performing career. Retiring (again!) from magic in 2019, Jay picked his paintbrushes back up (they had been on the floor the whole time). The paint on them hand long since dried to a nasty crust with new lifeforms swarming on them. Disposing of those, he purchased a new set and has quickly established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting young artists. The trade refers to him as ‘young’ despite being 40 when he started his art career. Given Van Gogh is now 167 years old (at the time of writing), Jay can certainly be considered ‘young’. Jay has been commissioned by CEOs, business leaders and entrepreneurs in New York, Las Vegas, Milan, Paris and London, including a limited-edition commission from a Las Vegas premier convention. Collectors around the globe are snapping up Jay's work now before he, in the words of one collector, 'blows up' (assuming this refers to his market value increasing and not spontaneously combusting). He has worked with the BBC as a consultant, hosted his own radio show, published 2 books and been blessed by ‘Del-Boy’ on the set of TV’s Only Fools & Horses! Jay created the Riviera Fine Art Exhibition in 2014 to showcase work from himself and other artists, and has received national press and TV coverage.
