Jackson Collins Blues Inspired Painting 20 x 16BORN: November 20, 1958, Canton, MississippiRESIDENCE: Venice, CaliforniaSelf-taught and self-made, Mississippi-born Jackson Collins extracts truth from life and renders it visual. At the age of sixteen, he began his career painting on the shores of Venice Beach without a penny to his name. Now, as an internationally acclaimed artist, having exhibited throughout Europe and the United States, Jackson Collins can still be found painting on the sands of Venice Beach. Despite recognition and acknowledgement, Jackson-Collins remains true to his methods and purpose: to elicit an emotional response from his viewers.Jackson Collins paints from his soul, and his work reflects this passionate realm of beauty and pain. Employing a system of personal symbolism, a feverish brush stroke, and broad planes of deep, intense color, Collins conveys the most basic of human emotions: love, fear, need, devastation, hope, joy. His images are at once brooding and triumphant, ethereal and grounded, echoing the complex and simple contradictions inherent to being human. Inspired by the trials and triumphs of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, and Mohammed Ali, Collins' oeuvre documents history through a unique cultural perspective, speaking loudest from that point where the personal, social, and political intersect. read more
