Kurt Jackson: Orwell's Jura, Morag's Skye

Kurt Jackson discusses his exhibition 'Orwell's Jura, Morag's Skye' at Messums London 1 - 24 December 2021.
The exhibition features two series of new paintings from two different residencies on Scottish islands by Kurt Jackson will be shown for the first time in London this December. One painted in and around George Orwell’s former home, Barnhill on the coast of the Isle of Jura - a remote and isolated house where time has stood still and the location for the writing of Nineteen Eight-Four. The other in a traditional ‘blackhouse’ on the Isle of Skye, a small thatched croft house in a crofting township.
