Jackson Fine Art Fall Exhibitions (Wednesdays)

From the venue:

The Tapestry

September 24, 2025 - December 23, 2025

Erik Madigan Heck is one of the most sought-after photographers working today, attracting collaborations and commissions from fashion and cultural icons such as Comme des Garçons, Gucci, Nike, and The Metropolitan Opera. He is praised for his talent to use color as a poetic medium, transforming each image into a vivid narrative that speaks to the emotional resonance of photography. The Tapestry marks a creative evolution in Heck’s artistic journey. This body of work infuses his love of painting and textile arts into his fashion sensibility. Inspired by the ambient light of Edgar Degas, patterned interiors of Edouard Vuillard and Gustav Klimt, and rich textures of antique tapestries, this series is a romantic exploration of color and form.

Widely collected in both private and public collections, his work is held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The flowing, lyrical design in Heck’s newest monograph, The Tapestry (2024), presents more than one hundred and eighty photographs in a richly colorful and immersive new collection that spans photography, fashion and broader spectrum of visual art. This will be Heck’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, and he will be joining us for the opening reception.

Saïdou Dicko - Fragile

September 24, 2025 - December 23, 2025

Saïdou Dicko’s work is deeply personal, drawing inspiration from his home in West Africa, Burkina Faso, incorporating textiles and the rich tradition of African studio photography. Each of Dicko’s works is a unique object, no two are the same. On view in the gallery will be two, new bodies of work: vibrant photographs with digital textile backgrounds from the Shadowed People, and a brand-new series entitled Fragile.

In Fragile, Dicko reveals his hand as a painter, enveloping his subject with washes of color, floral vines and tendrils, and along the border has adhered ‘fragile tape’ used in transporting precious objects and works of art — perhaps a comment on the fragility of the environment, human life, or childhood. For the Shadowed People, Dicko hand-paints each subject thereby creating a silhouetted form; the backgrounds are vivid patterns and colors from Fulani cloth—an homage to the resilience of traditional West African craftsmanship in the face of global industrialization.

Dicko is both an artist and humanitarian: 50% of his sales benefit the artist’s non-profit organization, Nafoore Cellal, which has built a health center, pharmacy, and organic vegetable garden in a pastoral zone in Burkina Faso. Dicko has been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions and been honored with significant photography prizes in Europe and Africa. He lives and works in both Burkina Faso and Paris. This is his second solo exhibition with the gallery.
