Philip R. Jackson

Representational artist Philip R. Jackson paints in the still life tradition capturing the essence of life in a still moment. Although his staple subject has a long historical lineage, it is obvious his paintings are not your grandmother’s still life. The illusion of his realism captures objects seemingly inanimate but as light reveals them, their mysteries uncover a conversation that’s been happening long before our approach to the picture. His still life paintings have been widely received and featured in many premiere art magazines and are part of numerous private, corporate and museum art collections nationwide. John Wilmerding, acclaimed author, collector and former curator at the National Gallery of Art, wrote of him as the “Still Life Painter for the 21st Century.”
