Originally from France, Antonia Jackson is an artist based in London. She studied in London and graduated from Wimbledon College of Arts with a BA (hons) in Fine Arts /Painting in 2014 after completing a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Chelsea College of Art (2010). She has since then exhibited in the UK and France and her work is held in private collections in the UK and Europe. She has recently been selected by Sonia Boyce for the RA Summer/Winter exhibition 2020. Antonia Jackson’s paintings hover between abstraction and figuration and invite the viewer into a strange poetic world that is half remembered, half imagined. Interested in memory and the cinematic, her recent paintings are based on carefully selected still images from rediscovered Super 8 home movies recorded by her father during his business travels abroad or family holidays. Antonia Jackson reinvents these degraded images with her use of vibrant colours and fluid brushstrokes using thin layers of oil paint and glazes that reflect the fragility and transience of memory.
