Reflections and Reverie: Jack Morrocco DA FRSA

‘Reflections and Reverie’ is a distinguished body of work by acclaimed artist, Jack Morrocco, DA FRSA, and it is an honour for Gallery Franklin to showcase this exhibition.

Jack Morrocco is known for his masterful handling of light, colour and form and this aptly titled exhibition explores the dialogue between external beauty and inner contemplation. The subject matters range from expanses of tranquil waterlilies to sun-drenched scenes of Europe; from joyful depictions of the West Indies to classically inspired studio still lifes and figurative works – all of which demonstrate Jack Morrocco’s capacity to capture atmosphere with exceptional skill and delicacy. Throughout the exhibition, we are treated to reflections, both literal and metaphorical, which invite the viewer to consider not only the subjects depicted but also the meditative process of looking itself.

I invite you to enjoy the glorious oil paintings on display and to spend time enjoying the warmth, elation and radiance they inspire.
