Type: Exhibition
This exhibition celebrates Jackson’s second part of his journey along the Avon from Bath to Avonmouth. Remarkably, the viewer is once again offered Jackson’s fluent, dynamic and inspiring depictions of life on the river. His unique working method using various media takes us to secret stretches of the riverbank in addition to well known landmarks. The results convey the artist’s holistic approach to his life, art and politics.
The complete body of work from source to mouth has taken Jackson almost five years to complete and this exhibition, sponsored by Wessex water, will be accompanied by a brand new publication.
Kurt says: “Over the last few years I’ve completed several projects about rivers – in this country and on the continent. To follow a river from its source as it grows and changes, erodes and meanders, evolving itself and the land; this is not just a journey, getting to know the river itself, but is also about discovering and understanding the host countryside - the history, people, culture, wildlife. The river becomes a metaphor for life itself.”
Exhibition tour with Jon Benington, Friday 14 August and 18 September, 12.00-12.45; free
