1963, Cambridge born, Nicholas James Juett returned to home-ground, after an exciting transatlantic career in the United States, lasting fourteen years. From 2002 to 2015 Cambridge partnerships have lead to interesting developments. His exhibition credits include the cities of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles; and in Europe, Zagreb, Cakovec, Rijeka, Cambridge and London. He began by working on a series of paintings of street facades around his home city which use his trademark vibrant colours to transform our perception of some familiar locations. The title of each painting is the postcode of the street depicted, so that every painting in the series may be topographically situated on a map or on the Internet. There are pieces of Juetts work that belong to a wider series of vibrant interiors, each featuring an imposing and provocative blank television screen. Writer and film producer, Nicholas Klein described Juetts work as panoply of distant memories, punctuated by familiar objects: it is as though the work reflects something personal and private while maintaining universality by featuring familiar objects which provide the observer points of cultural reference. Nevertheless, it is the flamboyant use of colour, indicative of the artists own personality, that is the key to appreciating Juetts work. These 'TV' interiors were exhibited at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge and the ROH in London. Post 2015 is the release of researched work based on The Journal of Robert Juett and his voyage with Henry Hudson in 1609.
