Born in Inverness, Scotland, in 1944, Philip Jackson studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee. He initially worked as a press photographer before transitioning to a full-time career in sculpture, establishing a reputation for his mastery of the human form in bronze.
His signature style involves highly stylized, often masked or cloaked figures that evoke a sense of mystery and narrative tension. His work frequently explores themes of human emotion and presence, utilizing a distinctive surface texture that captures light and shadow across his large-scale public commissions.
Jackson’s work is widely recognized in the United Kingdom, where he has been commissioned for numerous public monuments and memorials. His practice continues to be a staple of contemporary British figurative sculpture, with his pieces appearing in both private collections and prominent public spaces.
