Oliver Lee Jackson: Vibrato
Artist reception October 2 | 3-5 PM
Throughout a staggeringly prolific career spanning decades, Oliver Lee Jackson has presented a powerful body of artworks which challenge and entice – electrifying in both their force and tenderness.
Jackson’s paintings express a multitude of layers and elements, and it can be daunting to pick a point of entry. Yet the images have a way of engulfing the senses – the longer time spent looking, the more we attune to the language of the painting and the balance between abstraction and figuration. A willingness to stand before the work as it reveals itself through the elements enmeshed in the field is the only necessary tool.
