Suzanne Jackson: What Is Love — the first retrospective devoted to the full breadth of the artist’s career — celebrates Jackson’s groundbreaking artistic vision through more than 80 paintings and drawings from the 1960s to the present that emphasize her innovative use of color, light, and structure to expand the parameters of painting and illuminate beauty, peace, and love. Organized chronologically, the exhibition spans early ethereal compositions on canvas that layer luminous washes of pigment and imagery from her dreams to recent three-dimensional paintings suspended in midair and often embedded with materials that draw on ancestral and cultural histories. The presentation concludes with a new large-scale installation that reflects on the global environmental crisis and migration.
