Black Joe Jackson is a Afro-American Self-taught Folk Artist
from Georgia born in 1920. His works are reminiscent of life
in the black South,a half a century ago. He is a memory
painter,who uses his talent and found wood and paint to
express memorable and imagined events as he raised his
family. He has a distinct style unlike others,his skys are
immense emersing into a full spectrum of pallet. His flora
is flamboyant, almost impressionistic; his focal figures
are enlarged,and flowing. He uses distortion and hyperbole
to express character and comedy. His works have been seen
in several museums,and shown in major shows and galleries
accross the eastern US. He was a big success at Folkfest '98,
'99,& 2000 and shown at the Pier Show '98 & '99 in NYC.
His exposure has been obscured by a few collectors who have
hoarded his work,unseen by the public eye. They have outright
purchased his entire production for years. Recently,they
have released a few very large pieces for viewing and have
sold at alarming prices.
