This Wednesday! We are thrilled to welcome visiting artist Oliver Lee Jackson for an artist talk on his work!
Oct. 6th - 6:30 pm
streamed on “PNCA LiveVideo” Youtube Channel
The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies is thrilled to welcome artist and printmaker, Oliver Jackson. Oliver will discuss his work and practice in conversation with Paul Mullowney, founder of Mullowney Printing and Matthew Letzelter, Chair of the MFA in Print Media at PNCA.
Oliver Lee Jackson (b. 1935, St. Louis, MO) is a painter, sculptor, draftsman, and printmaker, whose works are grounded in figuration. His printmaking, which he approaches as drawing, incorporates varied intaglio techniques, as well as woodblock prints on paper and canvas. For the past few years, his printing has been done exclusively by Paul Mullowney/Mullowney Printing. Jackson has collaborated with musicians, writers, and dramatists who include Julius Hemphill, Marty Ehrlich, Quincy Troupe, Paul Carter Harrison, Michael Harper, and others. His most recent print project is the limited-edition folio Dear Friend, 2021, combining photogravures of Jackson’s drawings with hand-written music manuscripts by Julius Hemphill. Jackson’s works have been exhibited in museums and galleries for more than five decades. In 2019, the National Gallery of Art presented a solo exhibition of his recent paintings, curated by Harry Cooper, Senior Curator of Modern Art. An exhibition spanning over fifty years of works is currently on view at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Jackson’s works are in collections that include the Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC and many others. Since 1982 Jackson’s studio has been in Oakland, California.
This conversation will be presented on “PNCA LiveVideo”, PNCA’s YouTube channel.
Free and Open to the Public. All are welcome.
