Jill Tate

Sit In

Plant-based acrylic on paper, 17 x 25cm, 2022

Jill Tate (b. 1983, UK) lives and works in Newcastle upon Tyne. Her paintings of simplified architectural scenes are based on scale models she has constructed and photographed. She is interested in our experience of home and its existence at difference scales, such as the mind, the houses we inhabit and our shared planet. Using natural, warm colours and evoking the softened geometry of raw earth buildings, her monochromatic paintings dig down to the underlying unity at the root of all things, contemplating the physical and psychological structures that surround and shape us.

Jill received a 1st Class BA (Hons) in Contemporary Photographic Practice from Northumbria University (2005) and began painting in 2017. In 2021 she was awarded an Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant for Degrees of Freedom, and a DYCP grant for Groundwork in 2022. Longlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize (2022), Jill has recently exhibited at The Sunday Painter, Unit 1 Gallery, BALTIC, Bloc Projects and Hastings Contemporary. She is enrolled on the Turps Correspondence Course 2022-23 and her work is held in private collections worldwide.
