Nicola Jackson (born 1960) is a New Zealand artist, born in Dunedin.[1][2]
Jackson is best known for her small, highly detailed and vividly coloured papier-mâché three dimensional paintings.[3] She frequently references domestic life and female identity in a very subtle way, occasionally reaching over into the expressively grotesque and medical anatomical taxonomy.[4]
Jackson studied at the Ilam School of Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury,[5] focusing on sculpture and printmaking.[4] She received a prestigious Goethe-Institut scholarship to study in Germany in 1992[4] and in 1994 she was awarded the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship from the University of Otago.[6]
Exhibitions by Jackson include:
- Nicola Jackson: Through the Eye of the Needle (solo show), Robert McDougall Art Gallery, 1989[3]
- Fresh Art (group show), Robert McDougall and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, 1985[7]
- Gruesome! (group show), Robert McDougall Art Gallery, 1999[8][9]
- Child's Play (group show), Robert McDougall Art Gallery, 1995[10]
