HILARY JACKMAN

  • Melbourne based artist Hilary Jackman studied illustration at RMIT from 1960–63. Being strongly influenced by the natural environment and the artistic community in and around Eltham, her interest in illustration shifted to an art practice combining direct observation, the figure and the landscape. She shared those early days with a group of like-minded painters who had been taught by students of Max Meldrum.

    Traces of Meldrum’s ideas, plein air priorities, landscape format and light are still evident in her work that further develops the idea of altering the duration of the viewing experience.

    For over ten years, she has worked as a specialist paint colourist to Robert Owen and more recently assisting her partner Jeph Neale on public art projects. Hilary is one of the Founding Members of Artery Cooperative in Northcote, Melbourne

    Passages Of Light

    In my youth, my teacher repeatedly said “look for the passages of light”. It’s where the edge or receding plane of a form is visibly lost when it blends with its environment. Fifty years later I continue to use these passages to guide the eye through a painting.
