Jackson’s abstracted environments depict a natural world in transformation and unrest. Jackson’s sensitive and intuitive handling of paint ultimately reveals a rich and elaborate terrain; an elemental surface of multiple readings.

Jackson’s practice of application and elimination of bold marks of manipulated oil & ink based media, contribute to the works exceptional d e p t h a n d v i s u a l c o m plexity, enabling process and histor y to disclose infinite interpretations.

A San Francisco native and resident, Jackson studied fine ar t and environmental design at San Francisco State University and Califor nia College of the Ar ts, Oakland, CA. Jackson is a recipient of many awards including: Commission from The San Fr ancisco Zoological Society and John & Michele McNellis, for “Red Ivor y - A Kingdom Under Siege”, a large scale video & sound installation, San Francisco, CA; Commission from The San Francisco Zoological Society & The Bernard Osher Foundation, for “Kingdom Animalia”, A large scale experimental video & sound installation, San Francisco, CA; N ath an O live ir a Fellow sh ip Aw ar d, presented by MMG Foundation, San Francisco, CA; F u l l F e l l o w s h i p A w a r d , Vermont Studio Center, Johnson VT; Ar tist-in-Residency Award (firstIN recipient), San Francisco Zoological Society; Full Fellowship E XPERIENCES THE The R AINFORESTS OF CENTR AL AMERICA Award Ar tist-in-residency at MACA, Monte Azul, Costa Rica; among others.

My work interfaces along a continuum of painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Color and materiality are paramount. Inspired by obser vations of the manner in which light affects color with its passing movement and changes I am fascinated by the power of color to evoke emotion and to encourage contemplation, allowing the viewer to become the subject of the work.

In my daily studio practice I attempt to strike a balance between painterly guts and the pared down elegance of formalism. The inherent tension between these two elements is filled with myster y and metaphor, challenging me to create works which have a sense of inevitability about them and which reveal a sense of oneness with the viewer.

In May of 2019, artists Henry Jackson and Robert Gamblin, along with hired cinematographer David Magnusson, descended into the Costa Rican rainforests. Eight years prior, Jackson presented a project concept to Gamblin that would require them to step out of their creative comfort zone, and reinterpret the natural by substituting their long-standing passion of paint for video technology.

Their video titled, “The Great Awakening”, depicts a hypnotic alt-nature; a reinterpreting of what one might see, hear and experience in a heightened state of reverie within the confines of a rainforest. The video also serves as a cautionary tale, introducing an environment that entices a n d d i s tracts away from the tangible. A metaverse to replace and satisfy what could eventually become the new elemental norm, dictated by false saviours. A visual seduction that diverts our attention from the travesties of consumption and greed.

A collaboration over 2 years in the making, the assembled ten vignettes, with sound design b y S i l vanus Slaughter, will be incorporated as part of an immersive, large-scale multi-video & sound installation. The exhibition will premiere at the San Francisco Zoological Society in 2022, as part of their ongoing education in global conservation and awareness.

"The Great Awakening" will be showcased at Stewart Gallery during Jackson's solo exhibition, (IN) PLACE
