John Reno Jackson
Abstract forms in earthy colors create a warm and golden quality mimicking the natural light of the Cayman sunshine. A kaleidoscope of shapes blending together evoke a feeling of community and interconnectedness while the closeness of the abstract figures offers a sense of belonging and kinship.
John Reno Jackson, born in Grand Cayman, is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist. John works with both representational and abstract art, using paint as his primary practice – his paintings are generally comprised of 10 to 20 layers of paint. John’s work reflects current and historical situations in the Cayman Islands, noting that “the subject matter engages with Caribbean life in an illusory manner.” His work illustrates a strong pull to the environment, as John examines how both humans and nature affect art.
