Matthew Day Jackson was born in 1974 in Panorama City, California USA. In 1997 he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Washington and in 2001 a Master of Fine Arts from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, Newbrunswick New Jersey. His artworks express his struggling with big themes like nature, the constructive and destructive technologic developments, God and even the link between those themes. This involves complex research and investigation of history, technology and philosophy. Noticably are his works with iconic figures like the famous inventor, architect, engineer and cosmologist Buckminister Fuller (“Bucky”).
Noticable collections: Saatchi Collection, François Pinault collection, Collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, collection Whitney Musem NY, Domus Collection.
