Label copy

This work combines gesturally painted areas of color that are contained and punctuated by marks that suggest figures. Jackson’s style is informed by the improvisational methods of American jazz music, historical traditions of Western European painting, and his studies of African cultures.


—Dominic Molon, Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art
