Orla Jackson’s multidisciplinary visual art practice reflects on the rhythm of life and how traces of the cultural and social past can be presented in the present. Orla lives and works in London and graduated from the Royal College of Art MA Print in 2023. However, she emigrated from the West of Ireland in the late 90s and the influences of her upbringing, her diasporic feelings, her search for belonging and desire to connect with others are integral to her work.
Her intention is to evoke curiosity and conversation by embedding her work with rhythmic marks, lines and grids that give the illusion of movement to make images that intrigue and are both restful and active simultaneously (Pulse, Green Stack, Pink Embrace). Orla is interested in the idea of artwork having an aura – a presence in time and space. While making her work she considers the ambience of coloured light, optical movement and repetition. Her material choices are symbolic including fine papers and pigments and she embrace’s digital and analogue processes. Of late she has been making mono-printed tissue concertinas (Blue Wave, Green Squeeze, Pink Comfort) to mirror the movement of waves of Irish people, their vulnerability and strength alongside the musicality that they carry with them. She has exhibited in a number of group shows in London and the UK.
Exclusive to Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair Orla proposes a cognitive kinaesthetic experience through installation - a large print titled ‘Pulse’. The feelings and opinions of critics towards the large-scale colour field paintings of Mark Rothko, the reflective works of Agnes Martin and the rhythmic works of Bridget Riley are well documented. This installation offers visitors a curious and engaging experience by inviting them to post-it note their reactions to the work. Visitors are encouraged to reflect on their feelings. Do they sense emotions lingering in the space between them and the print? Do they have any emotional or physical reactions?
