H EN RY JACK SON A STEP OUTSIDE

FEBRUARY 12 / APRIL 2 2021

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.
