Working as a union painter and learning skills such as mural, faux and tromp’ oil. While attending Akron University Mr. Diamond took theatre classes including scene painting which led to a life in the theater, working not only as scenic artist but also actor, writer, director, technical director, set designer. Performance credits include stand- up comic and member of the Comedy Store Players at the Comedy Store on sunset in Hollywood. Films including the role of Jimmy in the Goldie Hawn film “Protocol”. Television roles; Mr. Sullivan the hit man in The Father Dowling series, Robbie, the tattoo artist in Beverly Hills 90210. Among his commercial credits are; Visa check card, Nike sports, Coors. Theatre roles include Vatslav in Vatzlav, Ham in Becket’s play End Game, and Lenny Gants in the Neil Simon’ play Rumors. Mr. Diamond is a proud member of Actors Equity Association, American federation of radio and television artist and The Screen Actors Guild since 1978. “My 25+ years of studying acting and working in theater, has made me a better painter, learning to directly connect to the emotional reality of a scene, object or moment, not to mention all that scenery I painted”.
In the 1980s and 90s Mr. Diamond’s Painting skills were equaly in demand in Beverly Hills and Bellaire California homes as well as creating original work for international design firms and clients including GUESS Jeans and Huera Fabrics.
Mr. Diamond Left California for New York in 1999 however while visiting family he was offered an opportunity to Direct theatre in Ohio, That led to other offers including, writing, directing teaching and painting for several years.
“I fell in love in New York City and with the city when I came here 1986. I have come full circle now returning to my first love, painting.
Since moving to New York in 2008 he has focused on Painting. “My CITY ABSTRACTS series can be looked at with this in mind, color is relative to emotion, passion, hot or cold. Line and form equal tempo, energy, attitude and amplitude. These fundamentals find their way into my other work often in more subtle ways. You may also want to look for all those hidden images I’m known to paint”.
“I started Working in acrylic for speed when my New York paintings started selling faster than the oil was drying. I enjoy working with acrylics I have no desire to go back”. Jack has worked in all mediums, mainly oil for more than forty years professionally.
