This body of work - exhibited at the Jackson Foundation, Cornwall - sees Jackson visit the sites of prehistoric Cornwall
and captures the county’s extraordinary range of ancient monuments with
a new series of paintings and sculpture.
The landscape is full of these monuments. Some are obvious and picturesque
- a stone circle - while others are incongruous, hidden and overlooked despite their
size and historical significance; smothered by dual-carriageways, roundabouts and
car dealerships.
All of these monuments are an important and integral part of the Cornish
landscape as well as its culture, they are a piece of Cornish heritage.
“These are extraordinary places to visit, to draw and to paint. As the eye, the hand,
or the feet follow the features, the mind also wanders, trying to find meaning and
explanation.” - Kurt Jackson 2020
