The History of Jack Thompson Art
with
Oil Art Advisory Gallery
Oil Art Advisory Gallery, Knutsford, UK
Jack Thompson is delighted to have established gallery representation in May 2024 with 'Oil Art Advisory' - a stunning high-end boutique gallery in Knutsford, Cheshire, UK.
Since then, an increasing number of his works are for sale at their gallery, and also through their website shop.
Jack looks forward to continuing a wonderful relationship with this superb gallery.
Planning in progress for the supply of Contemporary Fine Art to high-end hotels throughout Ireland & the UK.
Jack begins working with 'Artists of Dublin' - a voluntary organisation dedicated to promoting the work of Emerging and Established Artists and Arts Community across all genres of The Arts.
Jack designed and built his website and online gallery, which he subsequently launched in December 2023.
Jack exhibits with some of Co. Waterford's finest Artists at the Group Show 'Tramore Art', which subsequently was awarded Waterford News & Star's Green Room award for 'Best Group/Joint Exhibition 2022'.
Jack Exhibits at 'The Secret Garden' Exhibition at The Berkeley Gallery, along with some of Ireland's finest Emerging & Established Artists.
A charity close to his heart, having lost his Mum to dementia, Jack raised much needed funds & awareness for Alzheimer's Society from the sale proceeds of his art sold during the community 'Art In The Windows' initiative during Covid-19.
Jack Thompson works in collaboration with Artist, Tara Fennell - the brainchild of the 'Art In The Windows' community initiative, showcasing the artworks of local Artists in the windows of The Pier Resteraunt during Covid-19 Lockdown.
Gallery representation established for Jack Thompson with (what was formerly) Chester Art Centre, UK.
Jack officially sets up 'Jack Thompson Art' with the vision of creating a website, gallery shop, and a platform for other Artists to sell through...
...And in time, also form a charitable Community Arts Foundation Program to support and create opportunities to enable less and disadvantaged members of society to pursue their artistic endeavors and dreams when they may not have otherwise been able to.
Toward the end of his Residency, Jack released 'A Year In The Life of Clonter' hardback book, in collaboration with Clonter.
Jack Thompson's three year Residency at Clonter culminated in a large solo exhibition which was open for two years at Clonter’s Clonterbrook Gallery.
Jack took up a Photographer-in-Residence post at Clonter (Opera Theatre), UK, during which he photographed, amongst others, internationally celebrated musicians such The James Pearson Trio (also known as The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars), and some of world’s finest emerging opera stars.
In addition, during his three year Residency, he also documented behind the scenes in the creation of, and rehearsals for two of Clonter’s opera productions (Le nozze di Figaro, 2017; La bohème, 2018), along with numerous other rehearsals and concerts.
A very successful and well received first solo exhibition by Jack Thompson, at the former Chester Arts Centre Gallery. Curated by Art Director, Anastasia Tilston.
All sale proceeds were donated to the following charities:
~ Clonter Farm Music Trust ~
~ Marie Curie ~
~ Cheshire Arts for Health ~
In collaboration with Singer-Songwriter, Lucy Zirins, Jack Thompson raises funds and awareness for 'SANE' through the sale of Fine Art Photographs taken by Jack of Lucy Zirins in concert.
