Jed Jackson was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Throughout his education, he studied under artists such as Janet Fish, Fairfield Porter and Leland Bell, and reaps influence from the gritty realism of artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Jacques Louis David and early Edgar Degas, and the work of his contemporaries, including John Currin and David Salle. Jackson is currently a Professor of Painting at the University of Memphis in Tennessee and is the author of the book Art: A Comparative Study. Jackson’s paintings are modern mythological allegories, rich with subtle innuendos, political dissent and emotional ambiguity. Gleaning inspiration from fashion magazines, movies, the literary world and a plethora of other 20th-century cultural sources, Jackson incorporates these images and ideas with a keen sense of color to create paintings that are simultaneously rich in content and aesthetically dynamic.
