Julian Jackson
Kathryn Markel Fine Arts
529 W 20th StKathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce the second solo exhibition of paintings by New York artist Julian Jackson. Jackson’s exhibition, The Elements, presents a new body of work in which the artist’s unique ability to carefully and meticulously create luminous environments is taken to greater depths - departing from abstracted interiors and focusing on light as the subject.
Julian Jackson returned to the natural world for inspiration for his latest series of paintings, to reengage with what has fascinated him his whole life: the light of the sun, and the play and infinite qualities of its light. Jackson’s signature palette of reds and blues, referencing the summers sun and evening skies, have brightened with a keener appreciation for the worlds of brilliant colors that the sun reflects and refracts through nature. The artist’s canvases have become cosmic spaces in which blurred globes of various shapes and sizes hover in radiant fields of red, orange and yellow. Jackson’s work invites viewers to experience an abstract yet ethereal world of nature and celestial movement.
Jackson considers his new paintings as “a kind of internal weather slowed to stillness”, the recreation of a ‘place’ that viewers can enter as “one might a forest [and] revisit often, as one would a favorite mountain, tree, garden or building.” Jackson’s latest work, as described by Lilly Wei in a recent essay, is “the result of expert, elegant crafting and close observation of phenomena, the formal pleasures of these pitch-perfect paintings are many.”
Julian Jackson studied painting, printmaking, photography and performance at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, and received his BFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. He exhibits extensively throughout New York and Germany, and has work in several well known collections including The Sundance Corporation and the Citibank Collection. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
