Jo Quigley – South Bank Spring

Jo Quigley – South Bank Spring. Hand Signed, Limited Edition Print.

Background

Jo Quigley studied at Winchester School of Art, and then at Kingston University where she obtained an MA in Applied Fine Art. She now lives and works near Woking in Surrey.

Inspiration

Without a doubt, her inspiration comes from life itself. Subsequently, her favourite subjects are wildlife and people. Moreover, recently she has been fascinated with people in an urban environment. Additionally, living so close to a big city it is easier to observe and photograph people going about their daily lives. In particular, places which are busy and where people congregate. Consequently, as a result her paintings have become increasingly busy.

Ambitious in Scale and Complexity

Importantly, Jo’s aim is to create work that is ambitious in scale and complexity. To encourage the viewer to take a closer look and get involved in the many characters. Absolutely, any influences include the work of Pissarro, Hopper and Lowry. She has worked in a variety of media but particularly likes acrylic for its speed and flexibility.

Exhibitions

Jo Quigley exhibits her paintings regularly and has been fortunate to have won several prizes over recent years. She has also been shortlisted for several major prizes including BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2011, Surrey Artist of the Year 2011, and Artist and Illustrators Artist of the Year 2013 and 2014.
