Jack Rigg, oil on canvas, London Shipping, 1987

Jack Rigg (b 1927)

Jack Rigg who was born in Farsley, Yorkshire, has been painting much of his life. His love of the sea comes in part from his time spent in the Royal Navy. Having taken the decision to paint professionally in 1978, Rigg has exhibited in much of the North, as well as London. 

Though he has painted in much of the UK, it would be fair to say he has gravitated in latter years to the east coast of the UK.

This is a fine example of his work which captures the busy Thames shipping, in beautiful condition and ready to hang. Signed J Rigg lower right.
