HENRY JACKSON
Drawing from the Abstract Expressionists, Jackson combines figurative and abstract elements in bold, colorful paintings composed of oil paint, dry pigments, wax, graphite, and sometimes collage. Formed from a range of brush strokes and a diverse color palette, Jackson’s figures— which usually appear alone in the center of his canvases—are barely discernible, bordering on abstraction. Jackson engages in a process of applying and eliminating layers of paint, and altering pigmented cold wax with solvents, creating compositions that typically possess a remarkable physicality and emotional restlessness. A San Francisco native and resident, Jackson studied fine art and environmental design at San Francisco State University and CCA, Oakland, CA. Jackson’s work is exhibited nationally and internationally. His work is in the permanent collection of: The deSassait Museum, Santa Clara, CA; Boise Art Museum, Boise, ID; The Association of Zoos and Aquariums for “Kingdom Animalia”, an experimental video & sound installation, awarded by The Bernard Osher Foundation, San Francisco, CA, as well as numerous corporate and private collections.
