Artist Biography
Jack Hellewell was born in Bradford and studied at Bradford College of Art. He worked as a graphic designer until the mid-1970’s when, after the death of his wife, he started to paint full-time.
He is a prolific artist whose subjects range from the figure and still life to landscape. He has exhibited at the Royal Watercolour Society and the Business Art Galleries, London, and has painted in Europe, North Africa and Australia. Jack Hellewell painted mostly in acrylics in an expressive gestural manner. His imagined landscapes have the appearance of patchworks of shape and colour livened by broad looping brush marks. They are mainly in acrylic in an expressionist style, often taking the Yorkshire landscape, particularly around the Wharfedale area.
He took part in a group exhibition at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal in 1983. Jack’s work was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in the 1990's and his work is in the collections of British Rail, the National Power Company, Rochdale Art Gallery, Manchester City Art Gallery and Provident Financial, Bradford.
