Robert Jacks represents one of Australia's most esteemed and distinctive abstract artists. From selling out his first solo exhibition in 1966, spending ten-years on a self-described "international internship" in New York and Canada through to a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2014, Jacks's spent a lifetime fine-tuning his visual language. 

'Untitled (Purple Haze)' is a monotype, an artform that employs printmaking techniques to produce a single impression. It sparkles - layers of pigment shimmering between bruised purple, pink and silver. Here, Jacks is masterful, his composition musical and use of medium mesmerising.

The only work of its kind, 'Untitled (Purple Haze)' is for admirers of the artist, abstract art or spaces in need of an uplift. Represented in all state collections as well as several monographs, Jacks's work is collectable, intelligent, and joyous.
