The Last Exhibit at Morris Gallery in Columbia, SC
Morris Gallery, in
Columbia, SC, announces an exhibition of paintings by international
painter Herb Jackson on view through Dec. 21. Jackson is considered
by many today "The" major abstract painter living and
working in NC. His abstract painting style features layers upon
layers of acrylic paint mixed with pumice, which he then slashes
and scrapes to reveal hidden depth and richness of colors below
the surface.
Painter and teacher Jackson says, "I cannot remember a time when I didn't 'paint'". He has been teaching at Davidson College since 1969, has been the chair of the art department for seventeen years, ran the National Print and Drawing Competition from 1972 to 1976 (the largest works-on-paper competition in the US), and for twenty-eight years he has been the director of the art gallery at Davidson College.
Jackson has had over a hundred one-person exhibitions in the US, England, Portugal, Peru, and Canada. His work is in over eighty museum collections, including the British Museum in London, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Brooklyn Museum in New York. He is listed in "Who's Who in America" and "Who's Who in American Art" and received an NEA/Southern Arts Federation fellowship in 1986. His most current collection of 25 oil on birch paintings will be at the Morris Gallery through Dec. 21. That will be the gallery's last exhibit after ten years of presenting quality exhibits to the Columbia area.
