Exploring the career to date of artist and environmentalist Kurt Jackson,
this visually rich publication has at its centre the artist and the natural
world: Jackson’s paintings are set in places that he has travelled to and
explored regularly, and are created by an individual with a deep understanding
of natural history and ecology, politics and environmental issues.

Described in the Financial Times as ‘one of Britain’s most compelling
contemporary painters’, Jackson has had a distinguished career spanning
almost thirty years. For him, the fleeting impression is not of interest –
in all his paintings his aim is to convey his feeling and sense of awareness
of a particular environment that he knows intimately.

Offering insights into the extensive range of materials and techniques
that the artist uses, this book provides the definitive account of this
fascinating artist’s career to date and as such is essential reading for
anyone interested in twenty-first century British art.
