Hauser
& Wirth, London is proud to present a new exhibition by US artist
Richard Jackson - with two site specific installations that will feature
in the Piccadilly gallery from June 2nd - July 23rd.
The new works, entitled The Pink Empire and Confusion in the Vault Room
are hand-made installations by Jackson, a West Coast artist renowned
for his visceral, colourful and frequently explosive approach to painting
and installation.
With both installations, the remains of painterly activity are everywhere
- as if a performance has just taken place, paint is splattered on the
floors and walls of the installation - a woman vomits black paint onto
a white bear, whilst the bear in turn drips white paint from its nose.
Jackson has designed painting machines out of cars, lawnmowers and motorcycles
- continually experimenting, and pushing the medium of painting to its
limits.
