Richard Jackson 

 

Richard Jackson (Born 1939. Sacramento, California USA) is an American artist based in Sierra Madre (California USA). A drop university and self-thought artist, Jackson constantly criticize art itself and social conventions through brutal staging or shaming the objects and American culture.

​

He draws on the visual lexicon of domestic environments, universal basic human activities, and hallmarks of the quintessential American life such as hunting and sports. By harnessing this imagery and combining it with a physically laborious and conceptually rigorous artistic practice, Jackson has produced a body of work that questions and challenges the structure of the art world at large for over four decades.
