Jack Frame

Born in Kent in 1983, Jack Frame moved to Glasgow after attending The Kent Institute of Art & Design in Canterbury (now UCA) to further his studies at the renowned Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2007 with a sell-out degree show.

Frame was tipped early on as one of the most collectible young artists in the UK after receiving the GSA Painting Award, as well as the prize for Landscape Drawing. In 2009, he was a winner of the Jolomo Landscape Art Prize. While Artist In Residence at The Lomond School from 2007-2009, he was included in the BBC Documentary ‘Glasgow Boys’, exposing his work to a wider audience.

Critically acclaimed, his work is firmly rooted in the landscape tradition. His paintings, drawings, and mixed-media work capture the world in a vivid, intense and dramatic way. Frame is most noted for his striking depictions of trees and sky, which have a haunting grace and solemnity. Like the best portraiture, his work depicts more than the visible aspects of a landscape, using nature as a force to ask profound questions about the human condition.

His works are included in many public and private collections, including the Standard Life Building, GSA Mackintosh Building and the Friends of GSA Collection. His patrons include Muriel Gray, Matthew Bellamy from the band, Muse, and Kate Hudson among others. His studio is currently based in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, Kent.
