Paul Jackson

Paul Jackson is a contemporary artist with an aesthetic rooted in an appreciation for California, surf culture, and Mid-Century design.
His distinctive style is characterised by the bold use of abstract shapes and vibrant colours in his large-scale canvases, limited-edition prints, and private commissions. Paul’s art conveys a sense of joy and individuality that resonates with viewers.

Originally starting his artistic journey as a stonemason, Paul's passion for creativity led him to sculpture before establishing Gallery 23 in London's Camden Market. Nightclub and furniture design followed before he found his true calling in the world of colour and painting.

Paul has exhibited at the Affordable Art Fair Battersea, RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Bath Society of Artists. In 2023 his work was showcased during a four-month tenure at design-led contemporary retailer Holloways of Ludlow. Paul Jackson is currently represented by Pencil Tree Gallery in Bath.

BA Hons in Geology - Kings College, University of London

Although a largely self taught artist, since University my career to date has been full of creative endeavours; each one influencing my painting.

Starting off as an independent mosaic artist I created bespoke commissions for private individuals & large companies. 3D works of art followed, mainly one off sculptures for the interiors market. Then a career in club design & ownership, and interior design for individual clients.

I have been painting now for 15 years, showing for 10, and feel this is where I belong.
