Matt Jackson
A solo exhibition featuring new works
Matt Jackson is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. His work explores abstraction through mixed media, paint, and found objects—arranging elements into intuitive, often chaotic compositions that seek visual harmony rather than literal meaning. He invites viewers to let go and experience the work through personal instinct and imagination.
His latest exhibition, Love Lights, was born from a reaction to current events and the need to express unity through creativity. The title coming from one central piece—a grid of small canvases all constructed around a single shape—became a formal experiment in variation within constraint. Each canvas stands as an individual expression, yet when viewed together, they create a powerful, collective rhythm. The work celebrates diversity, individuality, and community: a reminder that we are brighter together. As the artist notes, “Now more than ever, turn on your love light.”
Matt’s practice is deeply influenced by the natural world, particularly the ocean—its rhythm, force, and unpredictability. His process reflects this energy: spontaneous, layered, and driven by instinct. He often works on several pieces at once, beginning with random gestures—paint or paper—and engaging in a process of push and pull until balance emerges.
