Jacob Gourley

'Jacob Gourley is a representational oil painter whose appreciation of traditional art has been the driving force in shaping his artistic career and honing his craft. In 2017 he graduated with a 1st class Ba hons in fine art from the University of Gloucestershire, during which he was awarded a scholarship to study for a month in Rome. 

Since graduating, Jacob has continued a studio based practice, exploring various themes in his work, carrying out numerous commissions and delivering workshops.'...

...'To date....

 

At the heart of Jacob’s practice is keen attention to the artwork’s formal qualities, such as shape, tone, edges, colour, and composition. To date, Gourley has exhibited in a number of group and solo shows  and was awarded 1st Prize in the Wirral Society of Arts Open exhibition in 2019 for his painting ‘82 - St John’s to Toxteth’. In 2022, he won first prize in the Belle View Arts Festival for his painting Lotus II and since has acquired gallery representation with the Soden Collection, Shrewsbury. 

 

Currently he is working from his Shropshire home studio and is taking on commissions.

If you are looking for that perfect Wedding gift for either the Bride, Groom or maybe the mother of the bride then why not consider a Portrait of either the Bride and Groom or maybe your family pet, or even one of my fine Victorian Fine Art Portraits.

 

Portraiture is my passion. There is nothing so gratifying to me as watching a face emerge from the canvas; I love to watch the composition grow and come to life. From an early age I have taken inspiration and guidance from the works of the old masters. The tranquillity and detail of Vermeer and the Pre-Raphaelites has been a constant influence in the development of my craft, whilst the dark drama of Caravaggio was the primary inspiration for my collection of paintings exploring themes from Shakespeare and the broader theatre. I strive to capture the essence of my subjects and use handmade paints to bring light and lustre to my work.

 

Ballet has drawn me in with its flow and grace, expression and movement.
I enjoy experimenting with different themes in my work; more recently I have expanded my practice into mixed media; experimental work commissioned for E.L. Heath’s recent album, Tŷ. This included traditional portraiture in oils alongside illustration in pen and graphite pencil onto wood, along with further work creating characters for a stop-motion music video.
