Black Joe Jackson (American, 1922-1997). "Runn Home" house paint on plywood, n.d. Signed down left margin and titled at lower left. Black Joe Jackson's "Runn Home," painted with house paint on plywood, bursts with a vibrant energy that echoes the artist's self-taught, outsider art style. Born to a sharecropper family in Georgia, Jackson's works often reflect memories of his Southern childhood, and this piece is no exception. A dynamic figure, rendered with a playful naivete, sprints across the surface, accompanied by a bounding dog, both seemingly caught in a moment of joyful exuberance. The use of readily available materials like house paint and the inscription of text, perhaps reflecting Jackson's dyslexia, are characteristic of his artistic approach. The painting's lively movement and bold colors capture a sense of freedom and uninhibited expression, hallmarks of Jackson's unique vision and his ability to transform simple materials into compelling works of art. Size: 16" W x 25" H (40.6 cm x 63.5 cm)
About the Artist: Black Joe Jackson was a self-taught African-American artist born to a sharecropper family near Atlanta, Georgia in 1920. Jackson created paintings on wooden boards and used easily available materials such as house paint an scrap wood. He was born with dyslexia, and the writings on his paintings demonstrate this. He is oftentimes described as a folk artist or an outsider artist due to his playful, naive style. Jackson's themes reflect memories from his childhood in the South.
