John Reno Jackson

John Reno Jackson is an interdisciplinary artist who draws inspiration from his Caymanian heritage and the dynamic environment surrounding him. His work and research are rooted in the tension of Caymanian people being the minority in their own nation, exploring how memory, migration, and materiality shape identity through the lens of geometric abstraction. A recent graduate of the Royal College of Art, he received his MA in Painting (2025), previously attended BFA courses at The Slade School of Fine Art, University College London (2022 - 2024), and was enriched by mentorship from TURPS Correspondence Course (2020 - 2022). Jackson's practice continually evolves through participation in residencies and educational programs. In summer 2022, he was privileged to attend Caribbean Linked VI at Atelier ‘89 in Aruba. Jackson was also the first Caymanian to attend the PADA Studios residency program in Barreiro, Portugal in 2020, and returned again in 2023.
