Jake Wood
Released alongside ICONS, Jake Wood’s work brings together British identity, public memory and a bold, street-led visual language. Built around instantly recognisable figures, the paintings feel graphic, energetic and emotionally direct — statement works that are both highly accessible and deeply collectible.
A bold take on modern icons
Jake Wood approaches portraiture with impact. These are works designed to land instantly: iconic faces, strong silhouette, graphic contrast and a contemporary surface that feels alive with movement and attitude. Rather than disappearing into polite realism, the work meets the viewer head-on.
What makes the series work so well is the balance. The subjects are familiar, but the finish feels fresh. The paintings hold warmth and affection alongside punch and immediacy, making them especially strong for collectors who want something that feels culturally loaded, visually confident and easy to live with.
Works with presence
Winston Churchill
A layered portrait of wartime symbolism, British resolve and public memory reworked through a sharper contemporary lens.
Barbara Windsor
Joyous, fearless and instantly recognisable — a work that balances affection, personality and real visual charisma.
David Attenborough
A vivid portrait blending reverence, ecological wonder and a deeply British sense of legacy.
Familiar faces, reimagined
Released with the exhibition ICONS, this body of work celebrates the figures who have shaped Jake Wood’s life, imagination and cultural landscape. These are portraits built around recognition, but they never feel static. Instead, each image is energised through a contemporary language of contrast, attitude and immediacy.
The figures already carry public meaning — Churchill, Attenborough, Barbara Windsor, Basquiat — and Jake leans into that charge rather than smoothing it out. He understands what makes an image stick: silhouette, expression, memory, emotion and public presence.
That’s why the works feel so liveable. They are direct, highly visual and emotionally legible, but still rich with cultural reference. For collectors, that makes them accessible without ever feeling throwaway.
“These are works that lean into recognition, but refuse to feel static. They are made to be seen, remembered and lived with.”
Indelible Fine ArtArt with heart behind it
This project also carries a meaningful charitable layer. 10% of proceeds from the print release will be donated to Dementia UK, giving the series an emotional depth that reaches beyond the image itself.
That connection feels especially resonant within the exhibition. It ties the work not just to public memory and iconic figures, but to care, legacy and the personal stories that sit behind them. It adds weight to the project in a genuine way — not as decoration, but as intention.
Highly visual, instantly liveable
Immediate visual appeal
Jake Wood’s work connects fast. It reads beautifully from across a room, photographs well and brings real life and energy into a space.
Cultural familiarity
Because the subjects already live in collective memory, the works feel accessible while still holding real individuality and edge.
Strong statement pieces
These are works that can lead a room. They suit collectors looking for a centrepiece rather than something that fades quietly into the background.
Edition and collector appeal
Alongside the original works, the hand-finished giclée print release on 300gsm fine art paper gives collectors another strong route into the series.
