Kurt Jackson is an environmentalist, ecologist and one of Britain’s leading artists. In his essay ‘The Visions of Kurt Jackson’, published in Granta 102: The New Nature Writing, Mark Cocker writes,‘There is an ecological relationship between Jackson and his paintings that makes them fascinating not merely to a lover of art, but also to a naturalist. It is in this second role, as a watcher of nature myself, that I’ve come to sit with Kurt Jackson over several days. My intention is to watch him as I might study a species of bird, like a rook or a jackdaw. The deep connection between Jackson’s art and the landscape he occupies is my theme.’
Here is a collection of Jackson’s landscapes.
