Galerie Tangerine / 900 South St., Suite 104 June 26 - July 31st

Buddy Jackson

A representation of the human form is the oldest man-made object ever found, and in the millennia that have ensued, the impulse to recreate ourselves has never waned. Much like a classic blues song or a fingerprint, as similar as they may seem to be, no two manifestations of these things can ever be the same.

For as long as I have memory, I have always been attracted solely to rendering people as a vehicle to express the joy, heartache, idiocy, courage, insecurities, quirks, and countless other emotions and attractions that we all share.

Jackson has been a full-time artist in Nashville for over 40 years, working in varied mediums including sculpture, painting, photography, and graphic design. His work has been published in international media, is included in public and private collections all over the world, and—among hundreds of other honors—he has won two Grammy Awards for album art.
