Jack taught art at schools and colleges in London for some 30 years, whist regularly exhibiting in London galleries and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. He married the horticultural artist Christine Stephenson and took early retirement aged 50 to focus on painting. Working out of his Studio in North-East Suffolk he was primarily a portrait painter and exhibited with the Suffolk Group of Artists and the Southwold Art Circle, notable sitters included the actor Bill Nighy and his paintings feature in many prominent Suffolk collections.
The present works, from the artist’s Estate, have never previously been seen at auction, the quality and assuredness of Jack Stephenson’s technique shines through these works and we anticipate this will be the first of many East Anglian art auctions to feature Jack Stephenson’s superb paintings.
The present collection comprises works from the artist’s estate spanning his career, the majority of the works have not been exhibited in decades. This collection represents a rare exciting opportunity at auction to present a catalogue of truly original works by an important modern British artist.
