“Lance Jackson is a painter who transmutes true and faithful sketches of the natural landscape into a superior form of abstract expressionism…”

- Glenn Pascall, collector

LANCE JACKSON - ARTIST STATEMENT:

I begin with a field sketch or idea sketch that captures a moment – a sense of what I see and mostly imagine. I render the obvious and the implied visual relationships with pastel, which is the most paint like of portable media. Then I enlarge, exaggerate and translate to canvas. There is more… more layers, more paint, more interpretation and more transitions. Underpaintings, glazes, and a variety of mixed media capture the dimensional life that unfolds, that when successful, is exposed as if it was always there, waiting to be uncovered.
