–

E. Jackson (b.1979 UK, lives and works in France) is an artist whose practice is concerned with human memory and the residues of radiant energy. This interest addresses the relation between perception, abstract imagery, and the connections these make with our central nervous system. Using material alchemy, colour shifts and structured frameworks, Jackson creates artworks that are seen by the eyes and felt in the body. Inspired by experiences of natural phenomena their work explores slow processes of attunement, an intimate relation to distant things, and the magnitudes of human sensing.

BIOG

Jackson holds an MA from The Royal College of Art, London; and is an alumni of the artist development programme Syllabus II (2016-17), delivered by leading UK arts organisations: Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects, New Contemporaries, S1 Artspace, Spike Island, and Studio Voltaire. They were selected for the a-n Mentoring Programme 2019/20, using the sessions to discuss how artworks operate outside traditional gallery settings and circulate independently. Residencies, group exhibitions and talks include: Guest Projects, London, Frans Masereel Centrum, Belgium, Cambridge School of Art, UK, Museu Molí Paperer de Capellades, Barcelona, A.P.T Gallery, London, and Fundación Pedro Cano, Murcia. Their work is held in a number of collections including: BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Colour Reference Library RCA, Henry Moore Institute, Victoria and Albert Museum (Prints & Drawings), and The Women’s Art Library at Goldsmiths. In 2021, they received Arts Council England DYCP funding to explore ‘Networked Paintings and Multiple Objects’. This dedicated 7-month period of mentoring, research and critical discourse allowed the development of experimental ideas, re-imagining how paintings can circulate by using the lens of sculpture and its practices of casting, seriality and reproduction. Archive, museum and collection research included, Henry Moore Institute, Wellcome Collection, Calouste Gulbenkian Museum Portugal, and the Nasher Sculpture Center USA. Project mentors were curator and writer George Vasey, sculptor Florian Roithmayr, and painter Nadia Hebson.
