Robert Coleman Jackson

I saw Robert's work in Chelsea last week at the Gallery Henoch. His still lifes were fantastic! He uses common inanimate objects and creates a narrative with them that is very quirky and fun! I think they are hilarious. His handling of paint is so meticulous, and his color choices really remind me of childhood. So creative!

Apparantly Robert was not always a painter. He actually graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Electrical Engineering and became a systems engineer designing for Motorola. He left engineering, not to paint, but for the church working as an assistant pastor for 6 years. Since 1997 he has been painting full time and exhibiting his work.
