Matthew Day Jackson was born in Panorama City CA, 1974, and graduated with an MFA from Rutgers University in 2001, following his BFA from the University of Washington in Seattle and in 2009. He received his NHRA License, from Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School, in Gainesville, FL. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
Jackson works in a multidisciplinary practice of sculpture, painting, collage, photography, drawing, video, performance and installation. His work explores a concept that he terms ‘the Horriful’, the belief that everything one does has the potential to bring both beauty and horror.
