Robert Coleman Jackson (born October 17, 1964) is an American painter and author based in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. He is known for his realistic still life paintings.[1]

Biography

Jackson graduated in 1986 from the University of Delaware with a BS degree in electrical engineering. As an elective during his senior year in college, Jackson took his first painting class. From 1986 to 1990 he worked at Motorola as a systems engineer and designed radio systems primarily with an EMS focus. He was an assistant pastor for Cedar Ridge Community Church in the Washington DC suburbs from 1990 to 1996. He has been working full-time as an artist since 1996.[2]

Career

Jackson's paintings are considered representational and influenced by pop art, and Jackson is sometimes referred to as a pop artist. His works contain themes of humor and nostalgia.[3] A monograph about his work was published in 2012 by Philip Eliasoph: “The paintings ... are inescapably a bundle of contradictions, satirical complexities, and witty subterfuge. Essentially, Jackson is a uniquely self-realized painter. His feisty independence is fortified with healthy dosages of non-conforming eccentricity, with a small touch of screwball nuttiness.”[4]

His work has been shown in over 30 solo exhibitions and 100 group exhibitions in the United States and is in a number of private collections.[5] Solo museum exhibits include the Evansville Museum of Art, History, & Science and the South Dakota Art Museum. Group exhibitions have included the Delaware Art Museum, Philbrook Museum of Art, Hunter Museum, Greenville County Museum of Art, John F. Peto Studio Museum, Islip Art Museum, Noyes Museum of Art, and the Brandywine River Museum of Art.[6]. Public collections include the New Britain Museum of American Art, Delaware Art Museum [7], Seven Bridges Foundation, South Dakota Art Museum, and the Evansville Museum of Art, History & Science.[8] [9] Jackson is represented by Arden Gallery, Boston, MA; Gallery 1261, Denver, CO; Gallery Henoch, New York, NY; Somerville Manning Gallery, Greenville, DE; Southport Galleries, Southport, CT; Zenith Gallery, Washington, DC.[10]
