Kurt Jackson’s latest collection, Oak has opened to the public at The Base, Greenham.

In this stunning new series of works, Jackson has aimed to tackle the different aspects of this beloved tree. 

From individual trees and oak habitat, to their seasonal changes in dress, the leaves and acorns, the striking and robust architectural forms and structure, he explores the role this tree has, and continues to play, in our shared historical and cultural narratives.

Kurt Jackson: Oak runs until November 17th at The Base, Greenham, Berkshire.

In this stunning new series of works which incorporate painting, sculpture, drawing and printmaking, from small postcard-sized to large tarpaulin-sized pieces, Jackson has aimed to tackle the different aspects of this beloved tree. From individual trees and oak habitat, to their seasonal changes in dress, the leaves and acorns, the striking and robust architectural forms and structure, he explores the role this tree has, and continues to play, in our shared historical and cultural narratives.

Historical sites, nature reserves, ancient woodland, clifftops, river valleys, city centres, estuaries and industrial sites have all been the locations for the making of this work.

The post Upcoming Exhibition – Kurt Jackson: Oak appeared first on Kurt Jackson.

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.
