Kurt Jackson’s work embraces an extensive range of materials and techniques including mixed media, large canvases and relief work.

To quote Jackson: “In Cornwall my subjects are mostly places I know well, that I visit over and over again certain areas of coast, moorland and valleys. I also work on projects, usually one a year, which are either based on a particular aspect of Cornish culture or on a distinct track of countryside. Capturing a fleeting impression doesn’t interest me. In all my paintings the aim is to convey my feelings and sense of awareness in that particular environment.”

Kurt Jackson’s paintings are fluent, dynamic and exciting, resulting from a working method that is both challenging and intense. He is undoubtedly most famous for his plein air paintings of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. However his painting continues to take him abroad and further afield. Kurt Jackson has worked with a number of charities, raising money and awareness about their work. They include: Survival International, Greenpeace, Oxfam, VSO, Water Aid, Cornwall Wildlife Trust and the Woodland Trust.

Jackson’s work is a powerful response to his environment; to quote Nicholas Usherwood, 2003 [editor of Galleries and chairman of the International Art Critics Association] “...a powerful unity of vision and with genuine claim to be amongst the most interesting British artists working with nature at the present moment.”

In order to increase awareness of the latest fund raising Campaign by Macmillan Cancer Relief and Rotary Club Chaities there will be an auction of a painting from the Pilgrim’s Route, donated by the artist, during the exhibition.

The full colour catalogue for this exhibition is available from the gallery at a cost of £8.00 including postage and packing.
