Born in Farnborough, 1967. Lives in Devon, UK.
Jacqueline Duncan studied at the London College of Fashion and lived for many years in in Italy, New York and Brasil . Whilst residing in Sao Paulo she shifted from fashion and textiles to fine arts, immersing herself in Brazilian culture. Currently she lives and works in a 17th century water mill where her studio is at the water’s edge of the River Dart, which informs much of her ongoing work.
Her daily observation of the river and foreshore inspire her abstract art work exploring the motion of water and and it’s interaction with light. Her artistic process involves drawing, painting and cutting up work to reassemble it in 3d compositions. The resulting work explores the interplay between light and water and blurs the lines between static images and kinetic art. She uses a wide range of materials for her sculptural work, often gathered from the local environment.
Jacqueline Duncan has exhibited widely, showcasing her art at WAC, RWA, London Biennale and the RA Summer Show.
