In 1962, he returned to his studies at Walthamstow and began studying painting. Soon after, he enrolled in the Royal College of Art in London from 1964 to 1967. Jacklin’s early career was marked by his Abstract style. However, by the mid-1970s, his work moved toward Figuration. In particular, his pieces examined light and movement. In 1975, Jacklin held his first two solo exhibitions. One took place at Upper Gallery, and the other was held at Nigel Greenwood Inc., both of which are in London. That same year, Jacklin was awarded an Arts Council Bursary. He held many solo exhibitions at Marlborough Fine Art, London, and at Marlborough Gallery, New York, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and he also took part in many group exhibitions during this time period. Over the course of those ten years, the artist also received many commission jobs from the Bank of England, De Beers, and the Washington National Airport, among others. Since that time, the city has been his primary subject. His work in New York explores many different aspects of the city his paintings often focus on the city’s famous landmarks. However, many of his paintings involve large crowds that are constantly in flux or in smaller, more intimate moments. In 1991, Jacklin was elected a Royal Academician. Two years later, he became the Official Artist-in-Residence for the British Council in Hong Kong.
