"Jackson in Action" is a humorous mixed-media artwork by Red Grooms, created in 1997. The piece satirizes the iconic "action painting" style of Jackson Pollock, with Grooms depicting himself as Pollock, engaging in the chaotic process of dripping paint. The work's vibrant colors and exaggerated figures contribute to its playful and satirical tone, while the detailed background hints at Grooms' own artistic process. The piece is an example of Grooms' signature style, combining elements of pop art, sculpture, and assemblage.
