Meet: Jack Metcalf

FACETIME Silent Auction Artist Jack Metcalf



A self-proclaimed honest portrait of an optimistic analogue
21st century gent looking right with only a promise of happiness,
Ink on Paper
"Jack Metcalf spent his youth knee deep in the sweating swamps of the southeast smearing the line of where illusion ends and reality begins. His creations emulate a diary of sorts. The work balances draftsman precision with an  ambiguous blather of imagination, insight, and delight, presenting an internal conversation that is felt, but never fully comprehended. The work is playful, visually stimulating, and when tied to the stories behind each piece, also deeply personal. It may have humor, but it’s not to be taken lightly."
