Two new Kurt Jackson exhibitions have just opened in Cornwall.

Biodiversity, at Cornwall Museum & Art Gallery, Truro until 7th July, opens windows onto different locations across the UK and explores the spectrum of plant and animal life found there. From train tracks to ancient woodland, peat bogs to urban streams, ecological processes come under the scrutiny of Kurt Jackson’s painterly eye.

Through paintings, sculpture, and mixed media works, Jackson shows what an ecologically rich world we still live in, but also how things are changing – themes which are explored in depth in the museum’s newly reimagined Nature Gallery.

Sea Flower, at the Jackson Foundation, St Just until 9th August, focuses on the often overlooked precipices where life thrives.

“I am standing at my easel on the clifftop. At my feet are a few pale primroses, out in front is the sea, the Atlantic in all its continuously shifting, churning and foaming glory. The primroses are small and still, tucked down out of the coastal breezes but turned towards the weak winter sunlight. And that is what I am painting, that contrast; size and scale; the flowers and the ocean, the powerless and the forceful. The tiny and (maybe insignificant) plants alongside the immense and powerful sea.” – Kurt Jackson
