"Metroframe
has custom milled a floater frame that provides me the perfect presentation
for my small oils on birch panels. I need a clean, neutral field
in which to view the work. Collectors frequently comment on the
wonderful craftsmanship used in producing such a handsome frame."
Herb Jackson has had over a hundred one-person
exhibitions in the U.S. and in England, Peru, Portugal and Canada.
His work has been featured in group exhibitions throughout this
country and abroad. Critic, Donald Kuspit, included Herb Jackson's
paintings in the first exhibition of contemporary American art presented
in the former Soviet Union. His work is in over eighty museum collections.
In 1999, Herb Jackson was given the North Carolina Award by the
governor. This is the highest civilian honor bestowed by the state.
Herb Jackson's paintings are built up in many
layers which are scraped off as they are being applied. Shapes and
marks come and go as the painting develops to a hundred or morelayers.
The final outcome is the result of a process of discovery similar
to the life experience itself.
"To require that an image, to be a bearer
of content, must be recognizable is to suggest that there is no
form to the unknowable." "My inner journey through art
confirms, for me at least, that it is not necessary to rob life
of its mystery in order to understand it."
