Fairburn-based sculptor Etienné Jackson to open solo exhibition June 6 By Angela Oliver | ArtsXchange Media ArtsXchange welcomes sculptor Etienné Jackson for its second annual South Fulton County Invitational, an exhibition series that affirms some of the region’s most compelling artistic voices that continue to shape the cultural fabric of Atlanta. The 2026 invitational features Inward: A Meditation on Memory and Presence, a solo exhibition by Jackson, a Fairburn-based artist whose abstract wood, metal and mixed-media works explore memory, ancestry, transformation, and the enduring relationship between past and present. The opening reception will be from 3-5 p.m. June 6 in the Jack Sinclair Gallery at ArtsXchange, 2148 Newnan St. in East Point. It will close with an artist talk from 3-5 p.m. July 11. Sinclair Gallery is free and open to the public from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Created in 2025, the South Fulton County Invitational serves as an annual platform for artists whose work expands and enriches the cultural narrative of metro Atlanta. From Outkast to Kevin Cole to Charity Hamidullah, the southern side of Fulton County has been home to generations of visual artists, makers, and storytellers. “Artists working in South Fulton County are producing work of extraordinary depth, rigor, and vision,” said Sinclair Gallery Director Richard Washington. “The Invitational creates space for those artists to be seen, celebrated, and engaged on their own terms.” While born of the need to challenge the region’s deficits – decades of underfunding, lack of media exposure, exclusion from national conversations about Atlanta’s arts landscape and future – the invitational has become a way to center the Southside’s vibrance and value. Through the invitational, the South of Center Experience in 2025, Forward Together East Point film screenings last month, and other creative placemaking, ArtsXchange continues to strengthen the visibility of Southside artists and position the area as one of metro Atlanta's most vital cultural destinations. “We’re committed to supporting artists whose work demonstrates originality, discipline, and a distinct point of view outside the dominant visibility of Atlanta’s urban center,” Washington said. Washington selected Jackson for this year's invitational because of the strength and maturity of his sculptural practice. “Jackson has developed a deeply personal visual vocabulary over time, remaining steadfast in his direction rather than following trends or expectations,” Washington said. Drawing inspiration from the histories of the African Diaspora, nature, geometry, and spiritual symbolism, Jackson said Inward “tells the story of my own family lineage of makers and builders while engaging broader questions of inheritance, identity, and collective memory.” Works below by Etienné Jackson

Sonic Expressions is an abstract, non-figurative art exploration of sound translated into visual form, where rhythm, memory, and musical structure shape color, composition, and material expression. Artists are invited to respond to sound across genres—from jazz and hip-hop to classical, gospel, ambient, and experimental music—creating non-traditional visual languages that mirror musical structure and emotional resonance. Rather than literal representations of instruments or performers, the works operate through abstraction, movement, and material exploration, highlighting a rich dialogue between sound and sight. Can a painting hold a rhythm? Can color echo a bass line or a whispered lyric? Sonic Impressions: Abstract Art Inspired by Music invites artists and audiences into an immersive cross-sensory experience where sound and sight merge, blurring the boundaries between listening and looking. This abstract, non-figurative exhibition explores how artists translate auditory experiences into visual form , using color, shape, texture, and movement to capture music’s emotion, rhythm, and structure. The works draw from rhythm, tempo, harmony, improvisation, and sonic memory, allowing music to function not as subject matter, but as a conceptual framework that guides composition, repetition, layering, and gesture. Artists respond to sound across genres—from jazz and hip-hop to classical, gospel, ambient, and experimental music—creating non-traditional visual languages that mirror musical structure and emotional resonance. Rather than literal representations of instruments or performers, the works operate through abstraction, movement, and material exploration, highlighting a rich dialogue between sound and sight. Whether inspired by a specific composition, a fragment of melody, or the emotional residue of a listening experience, the selected works reveal a clear relationship between sound and visual form while pushing beyond conventional approaches to abstraction. The exhibition ultimately asks a simple question: If your favorite track became an image, what would it look like?
