When Suzanne Jackson moved to Savannah, Georgia, she turned to natural pleasures—like the peanuts that ground this delicate, lyrical painting. Shaped from plastic netting, paint, and other materials, without traditional canvas, this two-part work expands painting’s possibilities, and is in dialogue with art by Lynda Benglis, Ed Clark, and others. To create community and visibility for Black artists, Jackson opened Gallery 32 in Los Angeles in 1968, showing art by peers including David Hammons, Senga Nengudi, and Betye Saar. In 1973, she exhibited with Mary Lovelace O’Neal, two artists recognizing each other’s singular vision as painters. As Jackson recently wrote to Lovelace O’Neal: “We each build our own visual and spoken language; we choose our own respective vocabulary, outside of the canon of assigned definitions.”
