"I think my work has always been minimal and abstract because when I was being taught sculpture, it was expressed in abstract terms. Form in space, mass and volume - that sort of thing. Painting, for me, is an extension of sculptural ideas."
Throughout his career, Jacks exhibited widely both in Australia and internationally, earning critical acclaim for his innovative approach to abstraction. His artworks are held in all State gallery collections and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
