Jack Pakenham was born in Dublin in 1938 and graduated from Queen’s University, Belfast in 1959. He has exhibited widely including solo shows at the Orchard Gallery, Derry, Project Arts Centre, Dublin and Wyvern Gallery. Dublin and in 1987 was elected an Academician by the Royal Ulster Academy. Pakenham’s work explores the conflict between the individual and the divided society that constitutes everyday life in Northern Ireland: in his own words ‘Over these years, I have tried to convey through a poetic language of metaphor, symbol, allegory and ambiguous narrative some of my concerns and anxieties, to use visual language to expose and comment’.
