SAM JACKSON : The Fearful Joy

4 Mar-2 Apr 2011

Overview

Beginning with source material derived from the canon of art history; historical figures of consequence or obscurity; political figures; and others that might be found variously in books, periodicals or newspapers, Jackson chooses and then engenders in his subjects a distinct melancholy and authenticity. Almost wholly male, the subjects have been chosen as a starting point and not as specific references, but nonetheless they are imbued with a gravitas that alludes to the presence of the weight of history. Private View Thursday March 3rd 6.30-8.30pm.
