Pete Jackman: Layers of the Land

Pete Jackman’s paintings explore the shifting moods, colours, and textures of the British coastline and countryside. Known for his layered approach in oils, Pete creates surfaces that echo the weathering of land and the passage of time. His work balances realism and abstraction, capturing light, atmosphere, and a sense of place that invites quiet reflection.

This new collection brings together his much-admired coastal and rural scenes with fresh work inspired by a recent trip to the Suffolk coast. The paintings deepen his exploration of space and texture, with subtle shifts in colour and form that heighten mood and memory. Whether evoking the solitude of an open shore or the stillness of a distant horizon, Pete’s work captures landscapes shaped as much by experience as by observation.

We are showing Pete’s work alongside ceramics by Jessica Jordan. Her work takes aerial views of West Sussex landscapes, downs, seascapes and seasonal patterns, and translates them into sculptural vessels, wall hangings and bowls. Her pieces layer texture, pattern and natural marks that recall erosion, weathering and the passage of time.
