Colin Jellicoe was a painter and printmaker, born in Manchester, who studied at Manchester College of Art and Design, where he met his lifelong friend, Geoffrey Key (b.1941). In 1963 Jellicoe opened an art gallery in Rusholme, Manchester and by the following year his art was included in mixed shows.
By the mid 1960s, Jellicoe began work on his first figure series, paintings of people in canteens and coffee bars. These developed into a series of semi-abstract figures in landscape. The Tib Lane Gallery in Manchester held an exhibition in 1965 of the works of Neil Dallas Brown and this made a big impression on Colin. He was influenced by a variety of artists and sources, including Keith Vaughan, Francis Bacon and American comics and Western movies.
Jellicoe exhibited at the Royal Academy, Manchester Art Gallery, Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Haworth Art Gallery, Stockport Art Gallery and at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester. He held a 30-year retrospective exhibition at his own gallery in Manchester in 1990. As a long standing member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art, his last mixed exhibition with MAFA was at the Stockport Gallery in 2017 and opened, fittingly, by his friend David Lee. His work has a number of collectors in the UK and is in the permanent collection of The University of Manchester.
