| Nicholas J Juett |
| |
|
1963, Cambridge born, Nicholas James Juett returned to home-ground, after an exciting transatlantic career in the United States, lasting fourteen years. His art has had recognition from various national institutions, while remaining outside of any commercial gallery representing him, instead focusing upon public access and non-for-profit venues. His exhibition credits include the cities of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles; and in Europe, Zagreb, Cakovec, Rijeka, Cambridge and London. Since his return to England, exhibits range from those accessible to the public to those provided by alternative private institutions.

| About the Artist |
Juett is an artist who was born in Cambridge and spent much of his earlier career in the United States. He has been working on a series of paintings of street façades around his home city which use his trademark vibrant colours to transform our perception of some familiar locations. The title of each painting is the postcode of the street depicted, so that every painting in the series may be topographically situated on a map or on the Internet. www.maps.google.co.uk
Using modern technology, in the form of a mobile phone camera to capture the initial impression of personally significant scenes, his expressive oil paintings interpret the subtleties of atmosphere and memory to create architecturally detailed works.
There are pieces of Juett’s work that belong to a wider series of vibrant interiors, each featuring an imposing and provocative blank television screen. Writer and film producer, Nicholas Klein described Juett’s work as “panoply of distant memories, punctuated by familiar objects”: it is as though the work reflects something personal and private while maintaining universality by featuring familiar objects which provide the observer points of cultural reference. Nevertheless, it is the flamboyant use of colour, indicative of the artist’s own personality, that is the key to appreciating Juett’s work. These 'TV' interiors were exhibited at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge and the ROH in London.

This is a larger painting, which has both tighter detailed parts as well as looser brushstrokes which allow the eye to move around the picture more easily; and features vibrant colours and bold brush strokes, typical of my other works, which serve to transform our perception of the familiar local scene.

2006 oil on canvas 71 x 112 |

This is a looser, more abstract painting in a residential street in the city of Cambridge. There is a suggestion of ‘posh’ houses just visible.
