About Jackson's Hole

“Jackson’s Hole” is an artwork created by Kent Monkman in 2019, classified under the art movements of Postcolonial art and Queer art, and categorized in the genre of objects. The artwork depicts a representation of two human figures etched into a piece of rock. The figures, formed with bold, linear grooves, exhibit elongated limbs and simplistic facial features, adorned with intricate and playful nuances, suggestive of dynamic motion and interaction. The figures are stylized, one appearing to wear a headdress or hairstyle with elongated lines, and the other, contrastingly anthropomorphized with a hat, contributing to the narrative and playful character of the piece. The raw texture of the rock juxtaposes the vivid inscription, emphasizing the historical and cultural themes central to Monkman’s work.
