Richard Jackson

“I am more interested in the process than the finished work,” -- RICHARD JACKSON

Trained as an engineer, since the 1960s Richard Jackson has created experimental, theatrical, and extreme works inspired by such seminal painters as Jackson Pollock and Jasper Johns. Early in his career, Jackson favored site-specific murals and temporary installations; on more than one occasion he installed a paint-drenched maze inside of a gallery. His later work has incorporated mechanical items such as washing machines and cars. Throughout his career, Jackson has had a penchant for visual jokes, as in his 2011 performance Accidents in Abstract Painting, in which he flew a paint-filled model military plane into a wall.

His work is part of the public collections of the MoMA, New-York, of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New-York, of the Pinault Collection, Paris, of the FRAC, France, of the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, Miami, of the Portland Museum of Art, Oregon and of the New York Public Library.
