From Suburbia to the Sublime

This walk-through of Jackson’s debut solo show with Pace Gallery will center on his new landscape paintings, shedding light on his expansive thinking across disciplines and genres. In his latest works, Jackson mines the history of landscape painting while also referencing the conventions of landscape in science fiction film and literature, where the strange and familiar converge. Engaging with both the suburban and the sublime, Jackson combines digital and physical modes of art making in these new works, inviting questions of medium, materiality, and meaning that are only answered through sustained consideration and interrogation. Rife with visual paradoxes, the artist’s landscape paintings offer views into worlds operating in parallel to our own. This upcoming conversation will explore what these worlds might suggest about our own present, through their physical and conceptual constructions.
