Flora: 150 Years of Environmental Change in Cornwall sees Kurt Jackson working in collaboration with Penlee House Gallery & Museum to stage an exhibition about the flora of West Cornwall.

Kurt Jackson, whose art process is heavily informed by studied observation and deep respect for the natural world, was invited to curate an exhibition reflecting his concerns about environmental change. 

This thought-provoking show sees Kurt’s work juxtaposed with Victorian depictions of Cornwall to demonstrate the impact of 150 years of environmental change on the region’s flora, fauna, habitats and human experience. 

Flora: 150 Years of Environmental Change in Cornwall – Curated by Kurt Jackson

The Cornish Seal at the Jackson Foundation

A normal, almost everyday experience for anyone who spends time on the Cornish coast, seals seem to pop up whenever we look out to sea; are they looking for us?

“I can easily spend a day in the cove painting alone and the only real company I have all day is a curious seal just offshore.

“I decided to spend the last few years dedicating as much time as possible watching, studying and trying to understand them – their form and movement, their haunts and habits and in turn create a body of work inspired by them.”

– Kurt Jackson

RNLI Cornwall at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall

After wowing over 16,000 visitors last year during its run at the Jackson Foundation, Kurt’s RNLI Cornwall exhibition has now opened at The National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

Jackson’s RNLI Cornwall documents the important role of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in Cornwall and celebrates their vital work within our coastal communities. 

This year marks the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, and this exhibition shares the museum’s large main hall with examples of RNLI lifesaving equipment and fascinating maritime vessels.

The post Two New Exhibitions Now Open appeared first on Kurt Jackson.

Kurt Jackson’s current exhibition ‘The Fowey’ has undergone a big rehang with previously unseen works added for a fresh feel and a new perspective.

Exhibitions at the Jackson Foundation evolve over time. As paintings sell and move to their new homes, they may be replaced by pieces that have yet to be shown. Every now and again we may even choose to rearrange the majority of an exhibition. Due to this ongoing process, each visit to the gallery can be a completely different experience.

With this in mind, we invite you to revisit The Fowey.
