It’s always a pleasure to run across a young artist who clearly is on track to widespread notice. I submit that’s the case with Jack Cocker, who enters his 4th year in a BFA program at Western University this fall but has already been on exhibition half a dozen times – including this solo show at Michael Gibson Gallery in London, Ontario through July 29.
Have a look at more of Cocker’s figurative and landscape paintings on his artist page at Michael Gibson Gallery (here).

If you’re a fan of this country’s art, as I am, you should know about the Gibson Gallery, which carries the work of numerous well known Canadian artists, including one of my personal favourites, the late Greg Curnoe. I grew up in London at the time of the city’s artistic renaissance, a movement led by Curnoe, Tony Urquhart, Kim Ondaatje and Jack Chambers, all of whom became much more widely celebrated than their regional beginnings.
