?Inanimate Adventures? by Robert C. Jackson at Zenith Gallery

Washington, DC - “In my contemporary realist paintings, I have been exploring life’s drama using inanimate objects as my actors.  By using these anthropomorphic props I bring the viewer into a new perspective in which they can objectively examine the human narrative.

I also find myself intrigued by dissecting light and many of the aspects in which the word "light" conjures in one's mind.  Not only do I enjoy working with the physical presence of light in my still life compositions, I am intrigued by the idea of whether fun and somewhat humorous work can stir the soul rather than allowing dark somber works to hold that exclusive copyright.  I’d like to think a smile can reach the soul.  Of course, light may also be revealed in the spiritual and I desire for my artwork to give the viewer a departure point for meditation, a modern icon.”. . . Robert C. Jackson
