About the Item
My paintings are designed to be conceptual and narrative based arrangements to stoke the imaginations of viewers. There is always something beyond the initial "muscle flexing" of realism. Props are my anthropomorphic characters acting out dramas on soda pop stages. I construct little dioramas and with oil on a brush I immortalize the activity. I work pretty hard to create still lifes that tend to be anything but still. By infusing inanimate objects with a personality, I am able to explore the human narrative outside of personal biases and leanings. In some ways, I think of myself as a director creating a play. The soda crates are my stage with apples, balloon dogs, and Oreos as my thespians. Act 1 is laid out for the viewer. But I stop there. I want my viewers to be compelled to wonder about Act II and Ill.
Often, even I find the resulting stories quite amusing. As a matter of fact, I enjoy using the taboo of humor in my paintings and take it as a challenge to create humorous works that have a lasting impact. My hope is that others get a smile or laugh too.

Robert Jackson
Robert C. Jackson (b. 1964, Kinston, NC) began his career path as an electrical engineer before turning his passionate hobby into a full-time profession as a contemporary still life artist. Jackson constructs elaborate scenes from thrifted Americana-centered figurines, soda crates, and balloon dogs that convey a deeper meaning despite their lightheartedness. In the artist’s words:“I believe that fundamentally, the core of our being is fed by both the comedic and the dramatic. However, the tendency of most art leans towards drama, leaving us slightly malnourished. Therefore, I have a pretty simple hope: to feed the appetite with a touch of humor and provide some pleasure to life. I try to engage the mind and heart of the viewer with amusing narratives.” Jackson’s artwork can now be found in galleries and museums throughout the country, including the Delaware Art Museum, the Brandywine River Museum of Art, and the Seven Bridges Foundation. His collectors include numerous individuals and corporations worldwide. Jackson was also the author of the 2014 book, Behind the Easel, which explores the unique voices of 20 contemporary representational painters.
