Jamie Pocklington was a young contemporary artist who worked in Richmond, Virginia.

Artist statement:

"I paint quasi-realistic people in abstracted settings. People often feel like they know or have seen the subjects of my work...The images I select have universal qualities, but purposely no local ties. Thus, I can collage them into new scenarios without anyone saying 'Why did you do that to me?' Although not knowing the subjects allows me great freedom, I often wonder if someone out there is thinking, 'I feel like someone is painting me and If I find them, I will sue them.'

Good estate condition.
