Trained as an engineer, Jackson juxtaposes his considerations of labor with the legacy of painting producing an astonishing range of unconventional forms. Several of Jackson’s iconic works are featured and discussed, including 1250 Stacked Paintings (2006-07), Glass Head (2006), as well as Jackson’s large scale re-creation of Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. In English and French.

Jackson has exhibited at Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume (Paris), Hauser & Wirth (Zurich), David Zwirner Gallery (New York) and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In English and French.

Andrew Berardini writes for art journals including Frieze, Art Review, and Mousse, where he is a contributing editor. As a curator at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena (California) he worked on major exhibitions.
