With a career that spans more than 25 years, Henry Jackson has evolved a unique way of probing the inner world of human feeling, embracing the power of intuition and utter candor to provide potent means of visual communication. Working in oil and wax on panel-mounted canvas, Jackson’s often brooding earth colors dance into life with energetic brush sweeps and vivacious lines that together arouse an exciting sense of artistic vitality and utter integrity of expressive beauty. Jackson says about his work, “Shapes emerge and perish almost simultaneously within their environment, and this revealing does not come easy…. What remains from this exhaustive struggle are agitated, irreducible forms. This tearing down of the figure is where I begin to see truth.”
