Jeremy Galton is best known for his still lifes, completed with meticulous attention to color and drawing. For him, the beauty of still life painting lies in the means by which the artist draws our attention to even the most banal objects, things we have all seen but never really looked at before. His approach considers the particularities of his subject matter, where the results are not generalized transcriptions of any piece of fruit, or any flower petal, but recreations of exactly those that existed in front of him when painting. In this way, his work allows for extreme scrutiny, where closer observation of his pictures only reveals detail previously unnoticed. Jeremy was originally encouraged to take up painting by Anthony Green and Sir Kyffin Williams. He studied Fine Art at the City and Guilds of London School of Art under Rodney Burn, Bernard Dunstan and Diana Armfield among others. He has held a number of one-man exhibitions and his work is continually viewable in group shows in galleries across the country. He is the author of five art books including the best-selling Encyclopedia of Oil Painting Techniques which has been in print since 1991. As a member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) he exhibits at the Mall Galleries in London on an annual basis. He has won numerous awards and his paintings feature in a large number of international private collections including those of a number of well-known corporate clients.
