Kurt Jackson Artist Cornwall
I’ve been meaning to write about Kurt Jackson for ages. I’ve just come back from his St. Just Cornwall gallery where he’s recently held an exhibition ‘Bees (and the odd wasp) in my bonnet’ and now ‘Cot – Cornish Valley’. Kurt Jackson Artist Cornwall.
Obviously because of (c) Copyright provisions – I’m careful about copying his works for this blog – so hence – my photographs of some of his catalogues that I own.
Reader – do please visit his website Kurt Jackson.
Nobody captures the grandeur, beauty, drama, spirit of Cornwall as well as Kurt Jackson.
Stylistically his pictures are ‘open’ – they invite you in as a participant, the scenes pour out to you, drawing you in to be an integral part of the sea or landscape.

Movement is there, you can feel the waves splashing, the leaves and grass bending to the elements, the sand drawing in and out with the tide, the breeze is fresh on your face the wind you stand against.
The light is almost Impressionistic – fleeting, to be felt and seen, not held – it’s not solid. Transient. The sun rays creating life and optimism.
You feel at one with the environment and are remined how fragile and precious it is. What can we do to protect and preserve this wonderful British asset?

Travel anywhere in the world and make a comparison with Kurt’s Cornwall – it takes a lot of beating and we must look after it.
