Artist Profile : Richard Jackson

Ideas come from experience.

Form evolves from thought.

Time and energy give rise to sculpture.

An impression, a question, an idea, these are always the starting points for Richard Jackson’s glass artworks. He records images and impressions of his experiences, using drawing, writing and photography.

Working with words, the title for the piece emerges, with modelling and drawing the form emerges.
Complex volumes, fine edges and points, perfect curves, a hidden point of balance, come together to create a moment of pure expression.
The form is the signifier, the layers of mark making provide a language, challenging the boundaries between surface and internal volume. Notational, gestural, rhythmically textural, a few large calligraphic strokes, all inform a history of memories and lives, both past and yet to be played out.
The resulting work expresses his findings and raises new questions.

38 years of thoughtful development bring you the confident and challenging sculptures of Richard Jackson. Throughout this time he has travelled widely recording images and impressions of his experiences, as well as working in studios and studying in the USA, Denmark and UK. His formal education was at West Surrey College of Art and Design, graduating with a BA (Hons), Three Dimensional Design – Glass in 1989.
Richard has an extensive international exhibition profile, with recent exhibitions including ‘A Thread of Light’, Shanghai, China and Taipei, Taiwan, ‘GLASS Work by Contemporary Artists’, Canary Wharf Arts, London, and ‘Reflection’ at Salisbury Cathedral, UK. His work can be found in notable collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Museums of Scotland and MAVA, Madrid.

Richard has created numerous commissions for private, corporate and public spaces and has 19 years experience of creating artworks for marine vessels. In 2010 he was awarded an important ‘Museumaker’, Arts Council, commission to create a large exterior site specific sculpture for the award winning museum, The Lightbox, in the UK.
A member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors (RBS), he recently undertook a three months artists residency at Fonderia Mariani learning the art of bronze casting. The ‘Brian Mercer Bronze Casting Residency’ is considered to be one of the most important residencies of its kind and was awarded to him by the RBS and the Brian Mercer Trust.
One of his most recent commissions can be seen in The Shard, London.

Last night we were at the opening of the 2024 British Glass Biennale @ifog2024 and a great evening it was. It was a very exciting and enthusiastic crowd with so much supurb work and as usual at these events we spent so much time talking catching up with old friends and colleagues we didn’t get to see all the glass artwork so we are definitely going back for another visit!
•
We are delighted to both have a solo glass sculpture each in the exhibition. Thank you to the jurors for selecting our work!
•
The exhibition is highly recommended for one to get to whether you are a glass aficionado or someone who has only ever looked through or drunk from a glass before.
•
The exhibition is open until 28 September.

10 years ago Sally was asked by Sky Sports to design and make The Sunday Times Sports Women of the Year awards. They wanted a female artist maker to produce them. @vitality_uk sponsored it.
Being a bit of a sports fan and having a young daughter involved in athletics at the time I was 100% into being involved in working on a project that heightened the visibility of women in sport.
I am full of admiration for the dedication and staying power of people performing in elite sport, especially women who, against the odds, have stuck with their passion and desire to do what they do!
I enjoyed the whole process, the teams @skysports and @sundaytimes were a pleasure to work with, the challenge of making all the awards exactly the same size, the excitement of knowing who was going to receive an award before they did and then my reward of going to the Awards events and meeting truly inspiring women with the stories of their sporting journeys to tell.
Winners were diverse across the award categories from athletes at the top of their sport such as @jessicaennishill and @laurakenny31 to Team of the Year Award presented to the Lionesses and the English Netball team to women who are involved in grass root community sports. Some have retired from their sport and some are still competing. @dinaashersmith won the Young Sportswoman of the Year award early in her career and the main award 4 years later and is going into the 2024 olympics looking really strong. And last but not least @helenglovergb who won an award is one of our flag bearers this year.
•
Did you know that in 1900 Paris Olympics only 2.2% of competitors were women and this year we have a 50/50 male female representation. I for sure am looking forward to watching the Paris Olympics and seeing so many women loving what they do best!

We had a super time at the opening of UNFOCUS @galerie_du_verre in Biot, Côte d’Azur, France. Our huge thanks to Serge and his family for hosting yet another fantastic weekend event and inviting us to speak about our work at the symposium on Saturday.
It was special to catch up with fellow artists, some of whom we haven’t seen since before the pandemic!
The challenge of the UNFOCUS theme has been the catalyst for a new collaborative series of optical glass sculptures titled DISPERSION with the first two featured in UNFOCUS.
The exhibition runs until June 2025 so there is plenty of time for a trip to the south of France 😉

The multiple layering of images seen in this piece are quite extraordinary!

We had the good fortune to see Sally’s Eternal Exchange XXVI in the permanent collection @museeduverreconches . It is beautifully displayed in the contemporary sculpture area of the museum. It is very special to have a sculpture in the collection and I am extremely grateful to Eric Louet, the museum director (pictured in pic 2) the city of Conches en Ouch and the French Museums Collections Committee for the acquisition.
We love the museum, it is a real gem and are so happy that we had or joint exhibition, ‘Inspirer Expirer’ here last year too.
There are great exhibitions here of work by Antoine Leperlier, Josepha Gasch-Muche and a group show in the gardens at the moment - see our story today for images.
