Adele Jackson's Profile

Adele Jackson is a Wellington artist whose chosen career as an illustrator has extended to painting and drawing only in recent years.
Mainly working in mixed media, Adele creates paper works that bring together elements of charcoal, paint and imagery to produce expressive, colourful, abstract works that resonate.

" These mixed media works are about breaking through barriers. They are an attempt to distance myself from my requirement for figuration in my artwork, or to offset it through the introduction of elements of chance.
I began to explore these ideas at Summer School in Wanganui in 2007 and I've continued to refine them and allow the insights to filter into my practice since then.
I want to generate energy in these works through contrasting rich colour, the chance expression of a loaded brush or the simple eloquence of a swift moving calligraphic line, with deconstructed universal symbols for barriers, obstructions or impediments."
