Roy Jackson (1944–2013) was an Australian contemporary artist, one of a group of artists based at Widden Weddin, Wedderburn. His work is part of the permanent collections of Artbank, the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and the National Gallery of Victoria. Jackson went to Australia at age 15 with his parents, who migrated as Ten Pound Poms. He returned a year later to complete his art education at Sutton, then Wimbledon College of Art. Jackson returned to Australia in the mid-1960s. With a career spanning more than five decades, his work explored and challenged the possibilities of representation and abstraction. Highly esteemed by his students, fellow artists and collectors, the power of his work is in its vitality and exuberant expression of visual sensations, dreams and memories combined with encrypted fragments of language and poetry.
