Samantha Jackson is a painter from Dundee, Scotland. Her work is a gestural exploration of everyday life and the relationships that emerge between painting, material and site through making.
She studies compositions that erode hierarchies of sight and result in fleeting, fragmented paintings that play with the modern nature of images in our habitual lived experiences. Recently, drawing has begun to develop in her practice as a critical mode of making, using mixed charcoal methods (powder, wet and willow) to express large scale, gestural drawings. These are a bodily response to perceived barriers and systems of power/access and often take the form of historic ironwork.
Jackson’s work maintains that painting is a shared, lived experience rather than a singular event, seeking to reward long looking as a way of fostering intimacy and connection with one another, particularly in the face of wider bureaucratic harm. All of her work understands itself as an object in a particular space: in drawings and paintings she incorporates ephemera that speaks to our current time through her own personal experiences.
Jackson graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2023 and the Royal College of Art in 2024 and currently lives and works in London with the Conditions Studio Programme.
