Biography
Jack Penny is a British artist whose figurative paintings depict contemporary urban life. His improvised compositions draw attention to the gestures, routines and social structures through which people move. Uniformed and seemingly anonymous figures gather in groups, often poised between humour and unease. Penny works instinctively with colour, texture and line, responding to the image as it develops. His references include George Grosz, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn and Georg Baselitz.
