Jacob Collins: Still Lifes and Studio Views
Still Lifes and Studio Views features 20 new oil paintings, including 10 oil studies in which Collins depicts artists at the easel at the Grand Central Atelier – an institution that Collins established to train artists in Classical traditions. Also featured in the exhibition are a selection of newly painted Still Lifes, and a self-portrait, rendered in the artist’s particular mode of realism for which he is widely celebrated.
The atelier studies serve as a testament to the artist’s mastery in the representation of natural light, shadow, texture, nuances of color, and the subtle complexity of his draftsmanship. Intimate and voyeuristic in nature, the artist observes his students as they simultaneously observe nude models and arranged objects of still life. This series speaks to Collins’ dedication to reviving the tradition of the French academy, finding the rich exchange of ideas among like-minded peers to be a stimulating and fertile ground from which to augment his own practice.
Jacob Collins lives and works in New York. He has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions worldwide and his work is held in significant public collections, such as the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, MA, and the Mead Art Museum, Amherst, MA, among others. We are thrilled to exhibit his work for the first time in our Palm Beach location, seven years after our last exhibition in New York.
