Bill Jacklin is a contemporary British artist. He studied graphics at Walthamstow School of Art, London before working as a graphic designer at Studio Seven in Holborn. In 1962 he returned to Walthamstow to study painting and subsequently went on to the Royal College of Art. Initially concerned with abstraction, his work moved to figuration in the mid 1970s, when it became preoccupied with the effects of light and movement.
Jacklin was awarded an Arts Council Bursary in 1975, the year that marked his first two solo exhibitions at the Upper Gallery and at Nigel Greenwood in London. His work continued to be exhibited in one-man shows throughout the seventies in London and later in the eighties in London and New York. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions internationally from the early seventies.
Moving to New York in 1985, Bill Jacklin has concentrated on painting 'Urban Portraits' of 'the city' in all its guises; from large scale canvases of crowds in flux to intimate moments in Seurat-like etchings. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1991 and in 1993 was Official Artist-in-Residence for the British Council in Hong Kong.
