PLACES I HAVE BEEN 

" I was never one to keep a written diary…. I am a spontaneous human being, living in the moment and never post selfies of myself underneath the Eifel Tower on social media platforms. An artistic diary makes more sense, A nice keep-sake in a frame. All of our memories are visual in our minds eye, places we have been, people we have met, experiences we have lived. So here are ‘Places I Have Been’ in my life, all from my memories, and recorded on canvas with paint. Think of it as a visual diary if you like…" - JackCB

These mini 'Places I Have Been' collectors pieces are small 6in x 4in framed canvas originals - JackCB didn't keep a diary, instead he painted all the places he has been over the years - for him to then sell his experiences to you.
1st May 1996

"Simple, at its' raw in technique, and that is by intention. You might be thinking why... artists like to play games, we like to invoke strong opinions, even anger, but to the person that owns this piece, they see something different". - JackCB

"There is a beach on the top of Scotland, that when you look out to sea you realise the north pole is the next thing you will encounter. No one exists here, no one can survive here, it doesn't take long here to hear the silence, and the thoughts in your head". - JackCB
