Fresh from Julieanne's Garden: The Bronze work
of Preston Jackson
January 28-February 24
The Union Art Gallery was proud to host the work of Preston Jackson, an accomplished sculptor and professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Jackson depicts the history of the people of different ethnicities living in the Southern United States in the period before and after the Civil War and how their stories are intertwined through his beautifully executed bronze pieces. The work mirrors who we are and how actions of the past have affected social behavior today. Touching on potent themes such as the ravages of war, racism and sexism, Jackson brings an air of delicacy yet complete stability to his castings that can be seen as emotionally charged and provocative.
