Nicholas J Juett
 
 
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.

Gwydir St. CB1 2LL
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.

Lyndewode Rd. CB1 2HL
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.

Education and biography
Started art at Chesterton Comp. Next stop the C.C.A.T. in Cambridge previously the Ruskin School of Art, provided a Fine Art training of both quality and focus, at Foundation Level as well as ‘A’ Level. His first degree is in Fine Art from Reading University, and he went on to take a Masters in Fine Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied as a Rotary Scholar. He moved west to Los Angeles for a few years, but returned to Chicago for more art training which included a residency in New York. Top artists and curators awarded him an affordable studio for one year in N.Y.C. which then became his permanent home. Choosing to return to the UK In 2001 he moved to Exeter, and he taught there until he took up the offer of a studio at Wysing Arts Centre located on the outskirts of Cambridge in 2002. Now he divides his time between teaching and painting, having completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from Cambridge University, 2005.
