Put an American in Milan. Suzanne Jackson in dialogue with Italian art

The American artist Suzanne Jackson brings her art within the walls of the GAM in Via Palestro and through her twenty-seven works - including iconic, unpublished works and new productions - weaves a dialogue with the works of the permanent collection: from the pure neoclassicism of Canova, to the pointillist paintings of Segantini, Previati and Pellizza da Volpedo, up to the extraordinary experiments with light and matter of Medardo Rosso's sculptures. From the dream paintings of the Seventies to the radical experiments of the most recent "anti-canvas", which free themselves from the need for a support to become pure colour, Suzanne Jackson's entire production is marked by phases that are closely related to the her biographical events. The initial production of a pictorial and figurative nature, populated with characters, animals, ancestral symbols and references to nature, has evolved over time, progressively approaching abstraction, until arriving at the development of a vocabulary in which painting takes on a sculptural dimension and environmental.
