Roy Jackson: Retrospective 1963-2013

This exhibition spans 50 years of painting and drawing by one of the most distinctive abstract painters in Australia. Roy Jackson’s early days coincided with the impact of American abstract expressionism in Australia, but unusually for an artist of his generation he was more affected by Europeans such as Dubuffet, Klee and the Cobra painters, and by Australians Ian Fairweather and Tony Tuckson.

Just as Jackson’s imagination shuttled between the micro into the macro, so the hundred or so works in this exhibition vary in scale from large paintings to intimate notations in sketchbooks.
