Jules Jackson

In my work I am exploring my felt-experience of the sea, the sky, and the land in-between. My painting process is intuitive and is informed by what I call my ‘heart response’, my internal landscape’s reflection to a remote external landscape, as opposed to a striving for a figurative or literal depiction. In my paintings I am aiming to capture an expansiveness, a limitlessness, a spaciousness or other worldliness, of the ephemeral quality of the ever-changing light and elemental energies. I am drawn to the sense of isolation and wonder one can experience when confronted by the immeasurable beauty and power of nature associated with the Romantic landscape painting tradition. I am based in Glasgow but spend a lot of time on the coast of Argyll, opposite the Isle of Jura.
