Kurt Jackson’s Rivers
August 31st 2024 – February 22nd 2025
To coincide with the publication of the major new book Kurt Jackson’s Rivers, this exhibition features a small selection of paintings and sculpture drawn from Jackson’s many river projects over the last 40 years.
As part of my working practice, I’ve completed projects focusing on rivers in this country, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
To follow a river from its source as it grows and changes, erodes and meanders, involving itself in the land: this is not just a journey, getting to know the river itself, it is also about discovering and understanding the host country, the history, people, culture and wildlife.
The river becomes a metaphor for life itself. – Kurt Jackson
Alongside this mini-retrospective of Kurt’s river works, the Jackson Foundation are highlighting the ongoing campaign Protecting Wild Waters by environmental charity Surfers Against Sewage to protect, improve and promote river health.
