The Facts
Lisson Gallery will host a conversation between artist Oliver Lee Jackson and curator Hamza Walker on October 31, 2026, at its Los Angeles location, marking the launch of a new publication dedicated to Jackson's practice. The book brings together two exhibitions in London and Los Angeles, exploring the Oakland-based artist's approach to the human figure across recent paintings and a group of marble and mixed-media sculptures. It features an in-depth conversation with author and curator Ekow Eshun, alongside new portraits and studio photographs, offering insight into Jackson's artistic processes and distinctive approach to world-building. The talk takes place on Saturday, October 31 at 11am at Lisson Los Angeles, with light refreshments served.
The Signal
The publication and talk underscore Lisson's deepening commitment to Jackson, whose compositions center on groups of human figures that oscillate between movement, volume, and abstraction. For collectors and curators, the event provides a rare opportunity to engage directly with the artist's process and the conceptual framework behind his recent works, which extend beyond representation into heightened expression and intent. The timing, coinciding with the close of exhibitions in both London and Los Angeles, signals sustained institutional and market interest in Jackson's practice.
