From source to sea, artist Kurt Jackson’s fascination with the rivers of the British Isles and beyond has endured throughout his life. This book explores, for the first time, Jackson’s visual and written responses to the rivers that he has followed, from the continent of Africa to his home county of Cornwall.

The diversity of the waterways that Jackson has come to know through his travels is echoed in his images, which capture habitats rich in flora and fauna. We can also discern the changing face of our rivers – choked by pollution and straining to survive the abuses inflicted since industrialisation restricted the natural flow of the network of blue lines that trickle, meander and run through our lands. Celebrating those networks common to us all, this important publication reminds us of the splendours of our rivers – powerful and fragile in equal measure.

To whet your appetitive for Kurt Jackson’s forthcoming exhibition Oak (which opens at The Base, Greenham this September), we are pleased to announce a new book focusing on Kurt’s painting, sculpture, poetry and prose inspired by this majestic tree.

For Jackson, the oak embodies beautiful fragility as much as gnarled, immovable permanence.

Each tree has a fascinating individual identity whilst part of an immense interconnected woodland world. The oak is a reservoir of great biodiversity, the tree itself an enormous life support system.

Jackson has spent a lifetime in studied observation to present the oak through his own techniques and gestures – relishing in the challenges of scale and form.

For Kurt Jackson ‘Painting the sea could become an obsession, an entire oeuvre in its own right, an endless life absorbing task’. 

Kurt Jackson’s Sea captures the beauty of the artist’s constantly evolving relationship with one of nature’s most challenging subjects. Two hundred colour images complement Jackson’s reflections on his interactions with coastal landscapes in Cornwall and beyond.

Kurt Jackson’s Sea is published by Lund Humphries and features a forward by award-winning art writer Julian Spalding, who pinpoints the importance of Jackson’s artistic voice at a time of environmental emergency.

Our existence depends on biodiversity; the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink all depend on it. By being aware of the life we share this planet with, we can appreciate it, and then (hopefully) conserve it.

This book, published to accompany Kurt Jackson’s touring exhibition Biodiversity (opening May 18th at Victoria Art Gallery, Bath), features a range of contributors including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Gillian Burke, Richard Mabey, George Monbiot and Mark Cocker.
