THOMPSON, Jenny

? - ?

Jenny Thompson began painting when living in Japan. On her return to England she studied at Brighton School of Art, now University of Brighton graduating in 1979, where she studied under Gwyther Irwin (1931-2008). Her paintings are mixed media, acrylic and oil on canvas or board and aim to give a sense of space and depth, by combining the emptiness surrounding the figure with glazing and often collaging, often with frail, transparent papers and paint, with any opaque material building up a physical depth. By contrast, her watercolours of still life are worked on heavily textured paper or a prepared surface which gives the subject its only movement or flexibility, relying on colour and pattern to give life to the piece. Jenny lives and works in East Anglia and exhibited with the Assington Group of Artists, Edmund Gallery, Geedon Gallery, Affordable Art Fair, Gainsborough's House Museum and Gallery, Wildwood Gallery and her work is in collections in America, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.
