Jeffrey Pratt was born in 1940. Strong parental
disapproval prevented traditional art school training. However with
part time training at St. Martins School of Art, and huge freelance
effort, by 1986 he had begun exhibiting regularly in America.
This enormously frustrating early period
now fuels an unquenchable passion for colour and light, ‘en
plein air’ painting giving full rein to bold brushwork and
a quick vigorous build-up of excitement and colour. Every painting
provides the challenge to capture fleeting light, early sun or coming
rain, or worse, the subject matter simply moving away!
Recent and prolonged painting trips in Europe,
Africa, Turkey and India have provided an abundance of subject matter.
In company with many painters, Jeffrey finds that both southern
France and Africa consistently provide him with fine light and subject
matter.
