Jake Garfield explores the relationship between reality and fiction through printmaking.

Mirrors, masks, and pictures-within-pictures are recurring motifs in a body of work that blurs the distinction between the world of the artist, the world of an image and meta-worlds within an Image.

His ongoing woodcut series EMERGING ARTIST largely depicts people painting their own faces, pictures hanging on walls and men wearing hats.

Jake has an MA in Printmaking from The Royal College of Art, a post-graduate diploma from The Royal Drawing School and a BA in Fine Art Painting from Brighton University.

Prizes include the John Purcell Paper Award at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair (2020), the Printmaker’s Council Award (2016), The Durham Wharf Award (2015) and the Royal Drawing School Printmakers Prize (2013).

Jake is based in London and exhibits in the UK and internationally, including shows at El Segundo Museum Of Art (Los Angeles), 155a Gallery (London) and Christies (London & New York).
