A new type of art

Adeline Jackson blends elements of reality and fantasy in short stories, poetry, and vivid large-scale paintings that draw on experiences from everyday life and the dream space. Jackson explores personal narratives, femininity, gender, and humor. The Los Angeles–based artist's practice—which spans painting, printmaking, design, mixed-media work, and installation—is united by humor and an engagement with contemporary issues. Jackson gives her works creative and poetic titles, which nod to her artistic predecessors and literary muse's, ultimately providing punch lines to her compositions' visual humor.
