The de Young Open: Twelve  of my favorite pieces
By BILL SHELLEY 24 Feb, 2020
Currently on view at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts in Sebastopol, California, “fluidity - the art of molten material,” features work by Northern California artist, Drew Jackson, who has used his years of experience as a digital photographer to extemporize on his encaustic wax creations - and in so doing, has combined a “left brain” and “right brain” method of art-making into a unique and distinct medium. Jackson’s work is color-driven, but his use of texture provides a subtext that adds a gravitational pull to his pieces. He states, “Photography has been a force in my life for over forty years, yet in 2009 I felt the need to become more physically connected to the work I produced. This lead to an exploration of more tactile art forms, and initiated the journey with encaustic painting and image transfer techniques.” Jackson found a medium and method that he has decided to bear down on, and deeply mine his ideas. It is remarkable what can be uncovered within a closely focused discipline - think of Giorgio Morandi.
